[Behindyou]

Moved here about 2 years ago from NJ - glad to be away from there. Have had a chance to shoot at local indoor ranges. Most interested in handguns (both semis and revolvers).
Do have a CCW from Fla and VA - and I know NC has reciprocity. My question is (and I read through the NCDOJ Firearm documents - but I still am confused) is: does the law require "open carry" or is "concealed carry" required?
Sorry if it is an obvious answer.

Do you mean is open carry allowed, or is CCW required? My knowledge of NC law is such that open carry is not explicitly illegal and therefore legal (where possessing a gun is legal) without any kind of permit. An NC Concealed Handgun Permit is only required to carry a handgun concealed.

If you're interested in handguns and competition, there's a pretty good IDPA match this weekend at PDHSC.

Depending on where you are concealed is always best here in NC. Especially in Charlotte, Cary, Chappell Hill areas.

glad you joined up, welcome to the club! We have some good info in the State Laws section, which is frequented by a lot of NC CCW instructors, so I'm sure you can find some help.

If you decide to carry, you can openly carry if you wish or get your permit and carry concealed. I dont know if that answers your question or not, but I tried. Welcome by the way
