15. JOE SMITH – SHALLOTTE – 443-1982 As of August 14, 2003, North Carolina law allows residents of other states who have a Concealed Handgun Permit issued by their state to carry concealed in North Carolina if the person's state also grants the same privilege to North Carolinians. Because North Carolina's law on concealed handgun reciprocity is new, the list of states that have agreements with North Carolina is changing and will be updated regularly. North Carolinians who have a concealed carry permit from our state will be able to possess a concealed handgun while visiting states on the list but will be subject to the laws of that state and are responsible for educating themselves about those laws. Similarly, if you have a concealed carry permit from one of the states on this list, you will be able to possess a concealed handgun while you visit North Carolina. However, while you are in North Carolina you will be subject to all of our state's laws governing the carrying of a concealed handgun.

In North Carolina, concealed handguns may not be carried:

• In law enforcement or correctional facilities such as a prison; • In financial institutions such as a bank; • In any space occupied by state or federal employees, including state and federal courthouses; • In schools or on school grounds; • In areas of assemblies, parades, funerals or demonstrations; • In any place where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed (such as some restaurants); • In any area where concealed handguns are prohibited by federal law; • In any place of business that has posted a sign banning concealed weapons on its premises; • By any person while consuming alcohol or while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substances (unless obtained legally and taken as directed by a physician) To possess a concealed handgun in North Carolina, you must: • Carry your permit and a valid form of identification with you at all times • Disclose the fact that you have a valid concealed handgun permit when you are approached or addressed by any law enforcement officer in North Carolina • Inform the officer that you are in possession of a concealed handgun. • Present both the permit and valid identification at the request of an officer NOTE: you should not attempt to display either your or your permit unless directed to by an officer.
