The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 14‑269(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	It shall be unlawful for any person willfully and intentionally to carry concealed about his or her person any bowie knife, dirk, dagger, slung shot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, shuriken, stun gun, or other deadly weapon of like kind, except in any of the following circumstances:
(1)	The person is on the person's own premises.
