2. Every gun board that I have visited trying

to determine whether it is accepted common practice to carry around a gun in your hand in an urban/suburban setting indicates that it is crazy. One question was whether you could carry around a gun in a holster because it was raining (this is in a state that does not allow unlicensed concealed carry), and the conclusion was that no you could not - strap the holster around your poncho if you must but do not carry it

One conclusion I have is that North Carolina gun laws do not adequately address brandishing which is what carrying around a loaded gun around people actually is irrespective if you point it or not.

I am not sure you can find any but the craziest of the craziest that would advocate carrying the gun in your hand. Any rational person would be expect to be shot if you did not immediately comply with an order to drop a gun.
