Freedom to Carry NC.

Summary

The bill lets any U.S. citizen 18 or older carry a concealed handgun in North Carolina without a permit, except for people barred by law (e.g., felons, drug users). It retains the existing concealed‑handgun permit system for travel and other purposes, and adds new offenses, penalties, and a scholarship for children of permanently disabled law‑enforcement officers. The measure also clarifies where weapons may be carried and expands authority for certain police and inspectors.
