House amendments make the following changes to 3rd edition. Amendment #1 removes the provision in GS 14-269.3(b) that allowed a restaurant server to ask a patron ordering alcohol if the patron is carrying a firearm if the restaurant has not posted a notice prohibiting firearms on the premises.
Amendment #2 amends GS 14-415.23 to allow a local government to adopt an ordinance to prohibit carrying a concealed handgun on specifically identified municipal and county recreational facilities (defined as a playground, athletic field, swimming pool and athletic facility). Provides that if an ordinance is adopted, the concealed handgun permittee may still secure the handgun in a locked vehicle in the trunk, glove box, or other enclosed compartment within or on the vehicle.
