Hey folks, I know that I have started a few threads on the subject but I still cannot find an answer. I have a valid West Virginia Concealed Pistol License and am moving to North Carolina as an out-of-state student. My question is can I legally carry in North Carolina? I will by renting my own apartment (not on campus).
I have called the Attorney General's office, who was less than helpful. The told me to call the issuing department in WV to make sure my license would still be valid (State Police said as long as I'm a resident of WV (WV Driver's license, paying taxes to WV, ect) it's valid). They didn't mention being an out of state student. So, I called the Charlotte PD who referred me to the Sheriff's Department. SD did not have an updated list that WV and NC had reciprocity. :banghead: I had to look on the NCDOJ website to tell her that we did. She said that reciprocity is normally for traveling purposes and wasn't sure about being an out of state student.
So my question once again is could I legally carry a concealed pistol in NC.
Thank you,
Jay
P.S. Thanks for putting up with all of my questions.
