I believe it has to do with the fact that while being permitted to carry a concealed weapon, you can't have your face covered. What I have found is that when wearing a mask for protection for health reasons, it's ok. If you are wearing a face-covering with the intent to commit a crime, then of course that is not ok.
Research is showing that North Carolina is one of the states that you will be just fine wearing a face mask along with your concealed carry. Is this something you're worried about? Drop your poll below.
