The law states:



Has anyone tried getting permission from the owner or lessee of the premises or business establishment? If so what forms or documentation did you used as proof? I'm wondering about creating a document that I can print a bunch of copies from and try and get this "permission slip" signed by the owner or lessee. Let me know what did or didn't work.

I think for #3 to be good, you will also need #4...which will be a bit harder to get happen unless you know the owner personally.

I don't know how to interpret #3 and #4. I would err on the side of caution but clearly this section needs to be reviewed and re written.

I've seen people argue this both ways. So I'm wondering if anyone has consulted with a lawyer on the true definition and whether this is possible just by CCW permit holders and not trained security guards.

I think that #4 is pretty clear...the owner has to be willing to acknowledge in one manner or another that you are acting as a security guard on behalf of the owner/organizer of the event. IANAL...but I do read North Carolinian pert well. The CHP doesn't really convey any special powers.
