RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina concealed weapon permit holders will have more leeway to bring their handguns into bars and restaurants and onto school and university property starting Tuesday as all or portions of more than 50 laws approved earlier this year are carried out.
Other new laws set for Oct. 1 enactment by the General Assembly will place additional rules on abortions, require new consumer protections when they're billed by hospitals and doctors, and demand higher fees for boat licensing.
As far as the gun amendments, people with concealed handgun permits will be able to arm themselves in a restaurant where alcohol is served, provided they don't drink or enter an establishment that has a sign to prohibit weapons.

The new abortion law, like the gun law signed by Gov. Pat McCrory in the summer, makes it illegal starting Tuesday to carry out abortions on the basis of the baby's gender and limits abortion coverage in insurance plans offered by cities and counties to case involving rape, incest or danger to the mother's life.
Doctors performing surgical abortions must be physically present for the entire procedure and in the same room when a patient receives the first drug for a chemically induced abortion.
