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. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
