No OC or CC in places that sell AND serve alcohol. That covers restaurants. They are trying to get that changed, but...
The same for places that charge admission. Includes movie theaters, parks, and sight seeing places such as Biltmore.
Places that post no guns signs are off-limits, but the signs do not carry the weight of law. You could get charged with trespassing if asked to leave and you don't .
The city of Cary has a no guns allowed statute for city streets and sidewalks and other city property.
City and state and federal buildings are no-go places, of course.
Although rest stops along the highway are state property, carry there is allowed by statute.
If you don't have a CHP, be sure your weapon is IN PLAIN VIEW while you are traveling. Loaded or unloaded doesn't matter in NC. You can carry a dozen fully loaded AK's on your dashboard and that is legal. But lay your revolver on the passenger seat and forget and lay your jacket over it and that is illegal (concealed).
