Gun Sign Requirements and Limitations

January 11, 2016

The “No Firearm” posts in North Carolina have the force of the law.

§ 14-415.11. Permit to Carry Concealed Handgun; Scope of Permit.
A concealed carry permit does not allow a person to carry a firearm on private properties where there are “No Firearm” signs posted.

§ 14-415.21. Violations of This Article Punishable as an Infraction
a. A valid permit holder who is found to be carrying a firearm without the carry permit in his person or who fails to inform a police officer on contact shall be guilty of an infarction.
b. A valid permit holder who is carrying a firearm on a property posted with “No Firearm” sign shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Note: Nationalcarryacademy.com recommends that when you come across a business posted with a “No Firearm” sign, you should hand a “No Firearms = No Money” card to the owner to let them know that they just lost your business.
