It's likely the "display" portion of this statute that got him. Funny that this was never mentioned before. It's the same law Cary uses to ban OC on sidewalks. He was fine in the car, the moment his feet hit the pavement is where his problems started. Not that I agree with it, just sayin. And I too wonder how you get around this when transporting a firearm through the airport.


160A‑189. Firearms.
A city may by ordinance regulate, restrict, or prohibit the discharge of firearms at any time or place within the city except when used in defense of person or property or pursuant to lawful directions of law‑enforcement officers, and may regulate the display of firearms on the streets, sidewalks, alleys, or other public property. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit a city's authority to take action under Article 36A of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes. (1971, c. 698, s. 1.)

City of Asheville ordinances state that you cannot even possess a firearm in city owned facilities. That would prevent you from flying using the Asheville airport if you had a checked firearm. Also, you can't park in one of their parking garages downtown either, even if you are just shopping at the stores.

You can park there if you are going to leave the gun in the car. Once you step foot out of the car is where you break the law. Yeah, still dumb and not really helpful. But some folks don't realize that you can store a gun in the car nearly anywhere in NC, the big exceptions are state parks (and that is up for debate) and schools.
