Perfect example in the thread below concerning a weapon in the car being "legally concealed" in NC if on your hip. Not true, no one has ever been convicted for open carry in North Carolina, ever.
Be advised: some law enforcement officers will tell you what they want you to do and phrase that as law. Since living in North Carolina (one year) I have been told the following by various members of the law enforcement community. Coming from an area that had a highly educated police force, the ignorance of some North Carolina cops has shocked me.
1) Open carry is illegal in some area because of local ordinance. FALSE ! Open carry is legal everywhere by two State Supreme court rulings and State preemption. See State v. Kerner & State v. Fennell
2) Open carry in Cary or Fuquay Varina will get you arrested Guaranteed ! Yep they will threaten you, so what. Just tell the officer, " fine arrest me and deal with the legal retaliation that will be forth coming Guaranteed ! I'm I being detained ? Onwhat Reasonable Articulable suspicion ? I have just walked away from more than a few cops pulling this crap. Don't let them push you around and violate your rights. Most don't know even basic law and came from the bottom half of the class, thus being a bit of bully seems to be a frequent trat. That's why you see a disproportionate numberof domestic abusers among law enforcement. They like to throw their weight around.
3) My personal favorite: " I have been in law enforcement 33 years and know it's illegal". When specific law was provided to the officer (Supreme court rulings, State preemption etc. ) his response amazed me.
"Well they law is just a guide, just because there is no specific law doesn't mean you can't be charged". Literally this idiot believes that the police can arrest whoever for whatever, without a violation of a specific law occurring. This of course shows a total ignorance of basic knowledge of the American legal system.
There is no problem with open carry in North Carolina. I open carry everyday in Cary, Raleigh and throughout the State regularly. Learn the law and refuse to allow uneducated or dishonest cops from violating your rights.
Open carry of a firearm in a holster within a vehicle is not concealed carry. There is absolutely no legal basis for that contention. The sheriff putting something stupid like that on a flyer is recklessly irresponsiableand doesn't constitute law.
