As many of you know, in NC the carrying of firearms are forbidden during riots, and in areas where a State of Emergency has been declared.

This past summer the drought caused many regions to declare such, so if someone CCW's in said areas, are they breaking the law???

So in a Katrina type scenario, I guess North Carolinians are sol?

Please tell me I"m reading this incorrectly...

I was afraid of that, thanks for the confirmation guys.

Though I'd like to agree with you guys that think it wouldn't be enforced, Katrina and maybe my cynicism makes me believe it'll be otherwise.

We were in a state of emergency twice in the last year, and I never heard of anyone getting in trouble for CCW. I'm sure it would have been picked up on the radar if it had happened.

I hadn't heard anything either. I'm hoping you're right, but fearing you're not.

Man Flordia and Arizona are looking much better all the time.

I'm a relative newcomer to NC, and for a southern state, it sure has a Yankee feel to it sometimes. Florida, lived in Miami for a while, might as well been living in Cuba, Arizona, hear great things. Indiana, lifetime CCW's...hmmm...

is there a difference between a declared emergency, and a declared disaster? Around here, all I hear are disaster declarations.

Interesting point. I'm pretty sure I've heard them call for a "state of emergency" because it was declared a "disaster area". Not sure how they're related.

Gentlemen, I've been out of the mix for a while, any movement or update to these matters since the new laws went into affect last year??

NC Bullseye, Thank you for the update thays what I was hoping to read! I was the OP and was hoping for positive movement since I last checked and you provided it!

With the state being controlled by Republicans, many of them on the conservative side, hopefully it stays this way for a while, at least until they try to enforce the UN smalls arms deal...
