Carrying concealed firearms or dangerous weapons - License distinctions
N.D. Cent. Code § 62.1-04-02
in effect62.1-04-02. Carrying concealed firearms or dangerous weapons - License
distinctions.
1. An individual, other than a law enforcement officer, may not carry a firearm or
dangerous weapon concealed unless the individual is licensed to do so or exempted
under this chapter.
2. An individual who is not otherwise precluded from possessing a class 2 firearm and
dangerous weapon license under this chapter 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 may carry a firearm concealed under this
chapter.
3. An individual may carry a firearm concealed under this chapter if the individual
qualifies for reciprocity under section 62.1-04-03.1 and the individual has the
equivalent of a class 2 firearm and dangerous weapon license from the state in which
the individual is a resident.
4. For purposes of this chapter, the difference between a class 1 and class 2 firearm and
dangerous weapon license is only the extent to which a holder of either license may be
eligible to receive reciprocal rights in other jurisdictions. A class 1 firearm and
dangerous weapon licenseholder is eligible to receive reciprocal rights in more
jurisdictions than a class 2 firearm and dangerous weapon licenseholder. The rights
and privileges conveyed by a class 1 or class 2 firearm and dangerous weapon license
within the state are identical.
