I just got the North Carolina state law on concealed weapons. Under the law, a Sgian Dubh is not concealed as long as the handle is plainly visible. However, there is a law on the books referring to carrying a weapon to the "terror of the public," which I have been advised could be applied in this case, by overjealous young police officers looking to make a name for themselves. This includes carrying a small, belt mounted hunting knife in public areas. The long-time officer I talked to, said he's never made an arrest under this statute. I happen to know our local DA, and I'm going to pose the question to him, as well.
