While it is a Shall Issue state, the restrictions placed on where carry is allowed are unbelievable, and a permit or a CHL is required to transfer a handgun, even between family members. Today's Gaston county paper reported a person being charged with child abuse for leaving two pistols accessible to a minor, in addition to being charged with the statue covering this. Interestingly, the Charlotte Convention Center, site of the 2010 NRA convention, prohibits firearms on the premises, as do many businesses. With the state laws against carry at any venue that charges for admission, just about any and every theater, stadium, show, etc. is off limits. Even a businessman, going the the bank to deposit the days receipts, can't carry concealed. NC is no where close to being the gun friendly state that deserves the recognition and tourist dollars spent by the our community of gun owners. NC is definitely not as gun friendly it appears to be.

Even Missouri's gotten rid of the purchase permit silliness. So glad I'm in VA...

Not quite as bad as Cali but it could be better, that's for sure. If NC is the California of the South, it kinda figures that I ended up here.

That might provide a clue to the author's intent. It’d be interesting to see the genesis of that law, when it was put in place.

This situation is why -- though it wouldn't solve all NC legal problems wrt. guns -- NC needs Katrina-like legislation. Most states that have introduced or passed "Katrina" legislation I don't think have had to deal with a law already on the books that actually *prohibits* (outside the home) possession during a state of emergency. But as Mike W. says, good luck trying to enforce that. NC is a long way off from CA.

I know IL does not like guns anyway, I live south part, we take care of our selfs anyway. I am going to ask the Illinois Emergency Management Agency what their rules are.
