In all seriousness please remember NC is a must notify state. As soon as any law enforcement officer approaches you for any reason, you must notify them that you are carrying and hand over your permit. And you cannot be drinking, at all, and carry. If you have beer with you on the beach, leave the gun at the condo. PITA! I like to drink beer on the beach while fishing, so pepper spray, knives and two coonhounds are my security!
