As long as an SoE
isn't declared, all is well...
If Gov. Perdue declares an SoE, she will most likely lie to us all again, and tell us that it's still OK to carry, and she will advise NC LEAs not to enforce NCGS §14-288.7, in violation of her Constitutional Duty, and in violation of the NC Criminal Statutes.
She and the AG have been telling LEAs to selectively enforce the NC Criminal code during SoEs since the Second Amendment Foundation filed their lawsuit to challenge this restriction, as a legal strategy to establish that the People of NC have no standing because they can show no "injury" by this law. She is wrong. Her assertions that there is some way to declare an SoE that does not automatically make §14-288.7 applicable are false, and telling LEAs to not enforce it is not within her legal authority, and is a direct violation of her duty as Governor according to the NC Constitution.
What it comes down to, is that even if an SoE is declared, the firearms transport ban effected by §14.288.7 will not be enforced.
So technically it IS still illegal to carry off your private property, but no LEO is going to charge you with the violation, because the Governor will tell them not to...
However, under her logic, they can't charge you with Failure to Disperse (14.288.5) or Disturbing the Peace (14-288.4) either, since those Statutes are under the same section (and I think any intelligent person can see that such an assertion is patently absurd...)

Carry all you want. She'll tell the LEAs not to enforce the law of our State.
The Rule of Law is dead in NC--but Jim Crow and Politically Expedient Oligarchy are alive and well...
