Last fall, I wrote a post about the NC State Fairgrounds being posted against carry with “No Weapons” signs during the NC State Fair. I went through all of the relevant statutes that I could find about concealed carry, and I wasn’t able to find the legal justification for the state to post the signs that they did.
I pushed the post from last year out to the Facebook group again this week, and we had some discussion on the issue. Yesterday, Andy Stevens, a guy who does a LOT more for gun rights in our state than he gets credit for (just listen to this bonus episode of the podcast where Ben interviewed him), posted the following message on the above linked Facebook post:
I was under the impression that you cannot conceal carry anywhere that charges and admission fee. Or at least that is what I remember when taking the concealed carry course.
That went away on October 1, 2013 after HB937 became law.
Ahh nice! I wasn’t aware of that. Probably because I got so caught up in the fact that it allowed “restaurant carry” that I missed some of the other details.
Yeah, they crammed a lot of good stuff into that bill.
