We did just go through this, but here is the info (and the answer, per commissioner Troxler, is NO):

§ 106-503.2.  Regulation of firearms at State Fair.
(a)        Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Commissioner of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit the carrying of firearms in any manner on the State Fairgrounds during the period of time each year that the State Fair is conducted.
(b)        Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, any prohibition under this section shall not apply to the following persons:
(1)        Any person exempted by G.S. 14-269(b)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5).
(2)        Any person who has a concealed handgun permit that is valid under Article 54B of this Chapter [Chapter 14 of the General Statutes], or who is exempt from obtaining a permit pursuant to that Article, who has a handgun in a closed compartment or container within the person's locked vehicle or in a locked container securely affixed to the person's vehicle. A person may unlock the vehicle to enter or exit the vehicle provided the firearm remains in the closed compartment at all times and the vehicle is locked immediately following the entrance or exit.  (2015-195, s. 4(a).)

Is not the Farmers' Market at Dix Hill? Not sure what
the State Fair Week at the Fairgrounds has to do with it.
Explain, please.

Absolutely right. Thank you. I read "Troxler" and "state fair" and the mind shut down. Disregard my entire post in regards to the question. Troxler's authority to ban firearms applies only to the fairgrounds, and only during the NC State Fair.

 

Neither the grounds nor the buildings are posted so I carry there when I go. A couple of times I've been in the seafood restaurant or on the grounds and Boss Hog himself was in there.

Thanks, the posting part is what I was really wondering about.

Must have been a while ago. I think Sorrell Booke passed 20 or so years ago.
Was he a personable fellow, or stuck up?

Haha, I didn't mean the actor from Dukes of Hazzard. I was talking about Troxler. I'm from Duplin County, home of 2.2 million hogs, where hogs outnumber people 44:1, and hog lagoons are a sensitive topic, and folks around home used to refer to the Ag Commissioner as Boss Hogg. Both Troxler and Jim Graham before him.

 

I don't go to the State farmers market often but I've always carried when I do go. I never gave it a 2nd thought actually. I have never seen a sign. If or when a sign appears that will end my going to the State farmers market. There's to many other places that my gun is welcomed.

Were you open-carrying?

 

So is it still good that with a CCP a person can conceal carry at the state farmers market?

 

I carry there, no signs to tell you otherwise.
