Wow, OC.org has really grown into a nice site and I'm encouraged by the OC stories for this state. Until tonight I really thought open carry was flat out illegal in NC - but admit I can't think of exactly why!
Last fall my family relocated from Iowa to beautiful rural Hillsborough. In the may-issue state of Iowa my wife and I were fortunate to hold unrestricted permits to carry. I CCed there regularly but only semi-open carried once - legally with permit, at the town grocery store (no problems).
Late last year we passed the NC CCW class and are now simply trying to find time to get to the Orange County sheriff's office to put in our CCW permit apps.
We regularly shop and dine in Hillsborough and Durham, and much less frequently, in Chapel Hill. Has anyone on this forum done OCing in Orange County outside of Chapel Hill/Carrboro or talked with the Sheriff (Lindy Pendergrass) about it? Our CCW instructor mentioned something about Orange County courts being unduly harsh in cases of justifiable shootings, but nothing about open carry (nobody asked).
