What percentage of the population in NC has a CCW permit? In upstate NYS (excluding NYC because those residents aren't eligible for a NYS permit) there are just over 1 million CCW permits in a population of about 8 million adults. That's one in every eight adults... who can picket their job or stop to pay their taxes without disarming.
Your North Carolina Sheriff's website contains the incorrect information and is disseminating it on their website. (http://www.ncsheriffs.org/documents/2013 NC Firearms Laws.pdf) has the sheriff posting the law from August 2013. The NC DOJ has one from September 2014. Your argument is with them. Call them and insult them for it.

I'm not sure you guys know your own law. Here is the document in lay terms from the NC Department of Justice... dated SEPTEMBER 2014. That's four months ago. YOUR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. If this isn't the real law you have a major problem on your hands. You need to call someone to get this false information off the web. The following is ALL in the NCDOJ document written four months ago.

In NC you may not carry a gun at any rest area on a public road. WTF? NY has nothing like this.
I'm not a felon. I don't need a 30 round mag or an AR. XD, your state maintains a list of CCW permit holders. They know you have guns. Registration means nothing. The reason NYS gets bad grades is the AW restrictions, 10 round mag limits (other states as well) and the big one... they won't let non-residents carry a gun. I just never had any interest in an AR. It's a terrible defensive weapon. If that's what you want then NY is wrong for you. If you only care about a CCW then there's almost nowhere you can't go.Speaking of gun control, you seem to be ignoring my question about "are you a felon in NY for not registering your guns and/or having magazines with over 10 rounds capacity?", or have you complied to these onerous laws?
Then tell me exactly what is bad about NYS law. Not NYC, NYS. Most people don't know there's a huge difference in gun laws. Registration is moot. They know you have the guns.BC,
Please be reasonable, you are a very smart poster and know an inmense deal when it comes to guns and laws but comparing NYS to NC on this subject is day and night.
Why aren't you hammering Texas or S. Carolina? Why NY? Personally I think OC is ridiculous. I have a gun. Big deal. I would not OC anywhere, even after I move from NY. I don't want the attention. It's unimportant to many of us. I don't live my life around a gun or gun rights.Oh yea, BC1, have we discussed open carry?
Hmmmm why would you avoid that topic, other than the fact that there is no open carry in the wonderful gun friendly state of NY. One of only 6 states in the country where OC is illegal.
OBTW, NC is an OC state, and no permit, license, etc. required, hell unless I'm driving I don't have to even have my ID with me.

The bigger question is why aren't you hammering NC for posting the old laws on the sheriff's website. They have the 2013 laws there, not the changes published in September 2014. A person seeking information gets the sheriff's data and is misinformed.

As I poked around Hendersonville and Buncombe County I noticed something very troubling. That part of the state is turning into a liberal enclave. Asheville has become a liberal, artsy-fartsy community. Very troubling. As people flee the northern enclaves in NY, NJ, CT, MA, they're bringing that citified liberal thinking with them. My prediction is that property tax will rise as more schools and government services will be necessary. And what follows liberals is gun-control. Watch that part of your sate.

Municipalities may be REQUIRED to remove obsolete laws. It isn't the webmaster's fault. He takes his direction from the Sheriff's department. He works for the county IT department not the sheriff. He may not make a change regarding a law until and unless a change is requested. I had numerous county contracts.Because people from SC and TX and trying to blow ******** up my skirt about how gun friendly their anti-gun state is.................
I don't get feel that webmasters that don't keep sites current distract from the quality of life in the state in any way.
Yes it is becoming a liberal enclave, primarily due to the influx of arrogant ******** from the north that move away from stuff the despise, and turn right around and start every sentence with "back in _________ we did it like this"
I don't need to cite a source. I have the entire NYS list of CCW holders. Want it? It's just under 1.1 million.I noticed you haven't provided a source to your 1M number for CC permits (or might that be Pistol Permits, including the primes only (not a CC) permit?), but I think I found where you got 1 Million. That the estimated number of FELONS in the gun friendly state of NY because they have not registered their illegal guns, made illegal with the stroke of a pen.

I too have a CCW and it doesn't mean I own a gun. The list is readily available. Why are you making these statements? You want the list? I'll personally send it to you. In fact you can get it from many sources based on certain years. Here's a partial 2010 list -->https://sites.google.com/site/whospackingnyisback/master.zip?attredirects=0Several of my guns have 12 and 16 round magazines, several have magazines that extend beyond the grip, and have a capacity greater than 10 rounds, and one of my guns has a threaded barrel that could accept a silencer (which I do not have), and all of these would be illegal in your gun-friendly state.
It doesn't have to be an AR to be illegal, something as simple as a muzzle break, often preferred by female shooters/hunters classifies as an illegal gun in NY.
Yes, and I bet that NY knows the name of every pistol permit holder. The list is private and cannot be released to the public or media and is accessible only to law enforcement. Of course the assumption is that if a person has a CHP they have at least a handgun, that's common sense. The SIL of a close friend got his CHP, but it was over 2 years before he ever got a pistol.
I have a CHP, it does not prove I own a gun, does not indicate I own more than one, or even the type of handgun. Why are you just bashing NC, while all but a few states issue permits, which would indicate the person owns a gun, which somehow you try to equate to gun registration.
Absolutely true. I'll never tell anyone I'm from the north. We had a place in FL for years. Because my wife is from West Palm Beach everyone assumed I was a local boy. I have no "NY" accent. When I move South I'm not saying anything. I'm keeping my mouth shut. I'll never admit being from NY. I hate the liberal mindset and the prevalence of it in NYS. I live in an agricultural area 60 miles North of NYC and have always liked a quiet country life. Every day that I had to drive to that train I wanted to just turn-around. I also hate these NYC types. Unfortunately they control the vote. And it seems there's hardly any Americans left in NYC. You walk down the street and are overwhelmed by foreigners. The real reason I want out of NY is taxes. They're killing us.Yes it is becoming a liberal enclave, primarily due to the influx of arrogant ******** from the north that move away from stuff the despise, and turn right around and start every sentence with "back in _________ we did it like this"
