RECIPROCITY

Effective August 14, 2003, North Carolina law allows residents of other states who have a Concealed
Carry Handgun Permit issued by their state to carry concealed handguns in North Carolina if the person's
state also grants the same privilege to North Carolinians.
Remember that while traveling in other states, you are subject to the laws of that state so please
be aware that the use of deadly force laws may be different as well as those places where carrying concealed
is prohibited. Consider contacting the Attorney General's Office of the state in which you will be
traveling for the current laws of that state.
Here is links to all 50 state Attorney General's Offices listed below.
North Carolinians who have a concealed carry permit from North Carolina will be able to
possess a concealed handgun while visiting states on the list but you will be subject to the laws of that
state and you are responsible for educating yourself about those laws. Similarly, if you have a
concealed carry permit from one of the states on this list, you will be able to possess a concealed handgun
while you visit North Carolina. However, while you are in North Carolina you will be subject to all of North
Carolina Concealed Handgun laws.
