North Dakota Open Carry

Hello, why exactly was my edits reverted? The requirement to possess a license to open carry in North Dakota was completely repealed in 2023. Thegunkid (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thegunkid,
I explained the revert in my edit summary. The requirement may well have been repealed in 2023. You need to update the source the information is based on if so. The currently linked citation does not mention the repeal.

The only issue is because North Dakota already passed constitutional [concealed] carry in 2017, no news article mention the repeal of the day-time ban on loaded open carry which was done in 2019 under HB 1293 as the bigger story was vehicle carry. That said, could I cite the video of legislative hearing where the representive who introduced HB 1293 explicitly states the bill removes the requirement to have a license to open carry?

That would almost work, but it doesn't verify that the legislation passed into law. Let me take a look around, maybe I'll find something. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 03:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well I'm not exactly sure what to do as the page already cites to the current statute which has the following language.
  1. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, an individual may carry a handgun if the handgun is unloaded and in plain view or secured.
  2. A limitation under subsection 1 does not apply to:
  3. [...], An individual not otherwise precluded from possessing a class 2 firearm and dangerous weapon license under chapter 62.1-04 and who possesses a valid driver's license or nondriver identification card issued by the department of transportation or by the individual's state or territory of residence, or an individual who has reciprocity under section 62.1-04-03.1
Also it appears I was mistaken, the requirement to have a license to open carry for residents was repealed with constitutional carry in 2017, also I decided to look through the history of the law and established this timeline of changes to unlicensed carry in North Dakota
  • Pre-2015 - Loaded Open carry at night only.
  • 2015 - Permit required to carry loaded gun at night, unloaded Open Carry at night still allowed.
  • 2017 - Constitutional carry for residents, non-residents can still open carry unloaded at night, 1 year residency for constitutional carry
  • 2019 - Non-Residents can open carry unloaded 24/7, 30 day residency for constitutional carry
  • 2023 - All residency requirements repealed for constitutional carry.

The biggest problem is that it tends to only be advocacy groups - either pro-2a or anti-2a - that report these kinds of things. However, I did find the following: https://fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/nd/67/bills/NDB00004209/ - which should do the trick. I can add it or you'd like to that's fine as well. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 03:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
