Concealed carry in North Carolina requires a concealed handgun permit issued by the Guilford County Sheriff after completing an approved safety course. Applicants must be 21 years old. Open carry is generally legal where not prohibited. A permitless carry bill passed the legislature in 2025, but its veto override remained incomplete at last check. Confirm current rules with the sheriff.
North Carolina divides deer seasons into Eastern, Central, Northwestern, and Western zones, each with distinct gun-season dates. In the Central zone, the 2026-27 gun season runs from November 14 to January 1. Rifles, shotguns, handguns, and muzzleloaders are legal during gun season, though some counties impose rifle restrictions. Consult the NCWRC regulations digest for details.
Guilford County falls within the Central zone, with gun season for deer running from November 14, 2026, to January 1, 2027. Deer are commonly found in the watershed woods to the north and creek bottoms near Randolph and Alamance counties, primarily on private land.
Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, located on the north side of Greensboro, preserves a Revolutionary War battlefield. The city's watershed lakes—Brandt, Higgins, and Townsend—encircle the northern part of the county.
