“In the state of North Carolina, an unholstered weapon is a display of aggression AND intent to use Deadly Force.”
North Carolyna loaw § 14‑34. Assaulting by pointing gun.
If any person shall point any gun or pistol at any person, either in fun or otherwise, whether such gun or pistol be loaded or not loaded, he shall be guilty of a Class A1 misdemeanor.
But it required pointing a gun to be even a misdemeaner. Can you find the law where it says just displaying it in public is unlawful. That would violate the 2nd amendment. It has yet to be determined at any time during that sequence the outside guy pointed the weapon.

I just moved up here from ‘Bama and was forced to sit through a 12 hour course of instruction which included range proficiency. The instructors made it pretty clear that if you unholstered in NC, that was definitely intent to use Deadly Force and you would be arrested. I went to Tri-Angle Shooting Academy. I’ll dig through the course books to see if I can find the info though. Not tonight because we’re watch the Opening Ceremonies, but tomorrow. Great conversation BTW.
