Thanks for the quick replies. Peregrino-I have to disagree with you on your views on OC. I spent a fair amount of time in the Northern VA area where, if you keep your eyes open, you can see OC a good amount. I feel it is not overrated. VA has a much lower crime rate than states that restrict OC. As for the "to the terror of the public" law. There are 4 items that must be met.

Going Armed to the Terror of the Public

This is a common law offense (272 N.C. 535; 32 N.C. App 495).

A person guilty of this offense

(1) arms himself or herself with unusual and dangerous weapons (firearm)

(2) for the purpose of terrifying others

(3) and goes about on public highways

(4) in a manner to cause terror to others.

In order to be charged, all four conditions need to be met. If you are going about your business acting in a reasonable manner, and your weapons holstered properly, there is no danger in getting charged for this crime. Now, why I do like to OC, I do not want to be wrongly detained by the FPD and screw up what I got going for me. Not trying to start a argument, just pointing somethings out. Thanks again for the advice.
