On the surface this conceal carry law is about the same as we have in Ohio. Interesting to see what some of the other rules are. Some counties in Ohio made it almost impossible to get a CC but we just passed laws to correct some of the this crap.
Same for NC - both that our law is roughly the same and that issuance of permits varies from county to county. People talk about "may issue" or "shall issue" counties. I live in Wake county (Raleigh) which is pretty much a "Shall Issue" county. But neighboring Orange County (Peoples Republic of Chapel Hill) is decidely not, or so I'm told.
