The Open Carry Of Guns In State And National Parks In North Carolina
BY Herschel Smith
7 years, 4 months ago
Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said, for example, that visible sidearms wouldn’t be allowed at a similar rally in North Carolina.
“Protests, you cannot carry,” Harrison said, adding that gun owners need to know the nuances of the law.
Those who carry guns openly can’t do so at organized sporting events. Schools are off limits, and so are state and federal parks.
Upon reading this, I sent a note to Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison, and since the note didn’t mirror to my own email address, I will reproduce it here as best I can remember.
“Mr. Harrison, as best as I am aware, and I have recently discussed this with a ranger who represents North Carolina on these issues, you are flat wrong on the open carry of weapons in North Carolina state parks. Furthermore, you don’t control the regulations for national parks, and no such regulation exists for national parks, except that you must comply with the laws of the state, and North Carolina is a traditional open carry state.
You have communicated material false information to readers.”
I have yet to receive a reply.
