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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
