North Carolina Concealed Carry CCW Laws and Information


North Carolina Concealed Carry CCW Laws

Legal Overview: Right-To-Carry Law Type: Shall Issue. The North Carolina General Assembly enacted a concealed handgun law that allows qualifying citizens of North Carolina the opportunity to obtain a permit to carry a concealed handgun. This law became effective on December 1,1995, and requires that the permit be secured from the sheriff of the permittee's county of residence. Once issued, the permit is valid throughout the state for a period of five years, unless it has been revoked. Crossbows are also considered in this section of the law and must have permits.

On Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Governor Mike Easley (D) signed House Bill 573, the judge-carry bill, into law.  This legislation allows district and superior court judges who have a valid Right-to-Carry (RTC) permit to carry a concealed firearm into a building that houses a court of the General Court of Justice, if the judge is in the building to conduct his or her official duties.
