Know the law
Places
off-limits
Even with a permit, North Carolina law restricts carrying in certain locations. Review the current law with your instructor and county Sheriff's Office. North Carolina law sets specific restrictions, including certain educational property, law enforcement and correctional facilities, some government offices, and premises where a person in control has posted a prohibition. A concealed handgun permit holder may carry in an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed unless carry is prohibited by a posted notice. A permit does not allow carrying while consuming alcohol or while any alcohol remains in your body. Other state and federal restrictions may apply.
Review the current statutes and posted restrictions before carrying. See G.S. 14-269.3 and G.S. 14-415.11. This page is general education, not legal advice.
