isn't NC now honoring ALL CCW permits?

[jg1967]

I think there was a recent change but I don't see that reflected in the maps yet?

NC honors most states CCW permits. But beware ...you are required to inform any officer that you have a permit when approached at any time. Also, weapons carry is not allowed at most public gatherings!! Apparently law enforcement officers are not too happy with the reciprocity. I just tell them that I have a CCW permit because officers are too heavy to carry!!!

the last i heard NC recognizes all states with CC permits .. they just passed the "Castle Doctrine" which goes into effect December 1, 2011 .. also if asked for ID by a LEO you must inform them of your CCW .. they usually just let it go and don't hassle you about it if your carrying ..

House Bill 650 goes into effect December 1. It recognizes all states that have CCW licenses. Until then, NC recognizes those states that recognize the NC license.

So there is a pending improvement that was passed.

Here's the language:

Scroll down to III C. Concealed Handgun Permit, where it reads (second paragraph):

"North Carolina also allows out-of-state concealed handgun permittees to carry concealed handguns, pursuant to such permits, in North Carolina."

This is HUGE. And I haven't seen it reported elsewhere...NRA, USA Carry, etc. The revised December 2011 North Carolina Firearms Laws do away with the reciprocity requirement that was still in the September 2010 revision.

So, as I read it, on Dec. 1, 2011 I can conceal carry in North Carolina with my Massachusetts CC permit (No restrictions, large capacity) as long as I comply with North Carolina's CC laws.
