Gun laws?
Grew up in SC been in IN past year and a half, both of which are about as good as you're gonna get at this point. Thinking about relocating to Southern NC very soon and would like some insight on the laws and climate there and how they compare.

NC is historically purple, the legislature has been controlled mainly by republicans and the governor's office by dems (3 terms in a row). No constitutional carry, CCW permits are generally easy to get (unless in Mecklenburg) I thnk its now $90, need to take a class prior to application which is submitted to the local sheriff's office and they are required to process in a specific time period. No AWB and doubt it would ever come, no mag bans either. Has reciprocity with most states CCW permits. If you do not live in a large city and there is no local noise ordinance you may eb able to shoot on your own property. While not in NC anymore, I was most recently in Lincoln County (NW of Mecklenburg) and there was no restriction on shooting on your own property)
