Calling NC "gun-friendly" is a bit of a stretch. Here's the problem with NC's constitutional authors not thinking that there was a right to carry concealed.
At the time of writing NC's constitution, NC was a slave state. The control of arms was designed to not only keep the slaves disarmed, but it was used to keep freedmen disarmed too. NC had no control over slave owners freeing their slaves, but they sure as hell didn't want them walking around armed like everyone else and acting as if they were human beings or full citizens. In practice, those laws were never enforced against the white folk.
Democraps never seem to stray far from their racist roots. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
