I edited a different post with a red mark, but I wanted to make this known and even more crystal clear: The gun prohibition is NOT in effect in NC.
State of Emergency Clarification
Where this order declaring a State of Emergency gets interesting is that it is declared pursuant to the powers vested in the Governor under N.C. General Statutes Article 1 of Chapter 166A. This is the North Carolina Emergency Management Act of 1977. An emergency declared in this manner does not trigger the prohibition on the off-premises possession of firearms and ammunition unlike NCGS 14 § 288.15.
Though previous states of emergency triggered the prohibition, it appears that due to the Bateman v. Perdue case, the executive branch of the state of North Carolina is no longer declaring emergencies under the statute which triggers the gun prohibitions.
You can thank Alan Gura, Mr. Bateman and Plaintiffs, GNRC, and SAF for this development. Remember that freedom isn't free....
Carry On!!!!
