Since we have open carry in NC, this means anyone can purchase and carry in public so long as it is not concealed.
Which is OK as long as they study and understand the self defense laws, which in NC can entrap and jail the unwary.
The churches that have a Christian School in connection were looked on as “educational property” by the lawmen and there was already a prosecution of a member of Gospel Light Baptist Church (so I heard TIFWIW) in Walkertown for simply having a pistol in the church parking lot on Sunday! The gen assembly here now with this override allows those churches to allow concealed carry as other churches around the state have since the last revision of the CHL law. Liberal Methodist Churches and Unitarian Universalists will still post their property against weapons.

Open carry, IMO, is the worst option.
Unless, you have achieved critical mass. And there large numbers. to the point where the average people are used to seeing it. It makes the open carrier a target.
