Sec. 30. Militia and the right to bear arms.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing herein shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the General Assembly from enacting penal statutes against that practice.
This seems pretty clear that our state constitution forbids a CCW permit? Several states have this clause in the constitution. Anyone care to explain (note, I do have my CCW in NC...I was hoping that NC's constitution did not have the milita clause in it like the US 2nd amendment, but when I looked, I came across this footnote).
Just curious on your thoughts
