Some proponents of the right to carry guns wonder whether the incident wasn't an overreaction by law enforcement. They point to McVey's valid - at the time - concealed-carry permit and North Carolina's open-carry laws and ask what, exactly, he did wrong.
I'm not familiar with NC's handgun laws regarding carry (though PDB recently gave a primer), nor do I know about possible reciprocity. But more intelligent folks than myself are wondering if it wasn't an overabundance of caution.
Additionally, the article notes that what McVey was charged with, Going Armed to the Terror if the Public (or GATTTOTP, to those in the know!) is a vague and misused statute. Small wonder ... the constabulary misuses a statute.
