First, welcome to the forum and i am not offering legal advice
Second, let's qualify the NC Statutes prohibitions a bit shall we..
14-269.7. Prohibitions on handguns for minors.
(a) Any minor who willfully and intentionally possesses or carries a handgun is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
(b)
This section does not apply:
(1) To officers and enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States when in discharge of their official duties or acting under orders requiring them to carry handguns.
(2)
To a minor who possesses a handgun for educational or recreational purposes while the minor is supervised by an adult who is present.
(3)
To an emancipated minor who possesses such handgun inside his or her residence.

is your property outside the limitations of an incorporated municipality?
will a caregiver be with your son while he OCs on your property?
why do you wish your child to OC?
Fourth, ensure your child has been appropriately educated, either via BSA's shooting sports pgms or NRA's pistol, rifle, shotgun basic courses ~ full courses!
Fifth...remember to adhere to 14-315.1. Storage of firearms to protect minors. as NC is one of the few states to hold parents accountable if their minors abuses firearms.
