I recently visited NC. After having an altercation with a vicious Pit Bull, its owner and the Local Police I knew I had to post this and get some feedback.
Having lived in NC most of my life and moving to SC just a few years ago, I of course examined SC carry laws...especially concerning transporting in vehicle etc.
In NC you are required to carry in plain sight in your car. Must be in open sight!
In SC you are required to carry in closed console or glove box etc. Out of sight!
After the altercation I ask the officer ( just to know ) how I should carry while visiting NC. He said if it is in compartment I am carrying concealed and NOT GOOD!
My point is.... I would have thought that I should abide by my state law since my vehicle is licensed in SC and I am SC driver license holder.
I was wrong...here anyway.....may not be same in another state though. this stuff is out of hand...we need US Legislation that is uniform across the USA.
The 2A is simple.....this seems to me much like a speed trap of sorts! And I just do not know if you could find an honest way to travel in the US and abide legally by there laws.
This officer was cool....he had an altercation with same dog a few days earlier. Unfortunately the owner called the dog off about 2 second before the hammer fell. Lucky dog... I will tell you that! This time anyway...
