Hi I am new here to the forum and am doing some research. First off I am 51 and have had my CHP for many years now. My research and inquiries are for my now 19 year old step son. He is very familiar with firearms as he owns his own shot gun and rifle and hunts regularly. We also frequently go to a range and shoot my handguns. From my understanding he is allowed to possess a handgun at 18 in North Carolina but cannot purchase from an FFL dealer but rather thru private sale or gifted to him provided he obtains a PPP from the county sheriff. With traveling thru out the state and things of that nature 2 here I would always be carrying myself I am not opposed to him having a gun for protection. I would however insist he knows how when and where he could open carry. I suppose the county sheriff would be a good resource. My biggest concern is open carry in his truck. Being North Carolina and boys with their trucks his is a big red Chevy Silverado with the noise making straight pipes and heavily tinted windows. Would the tinted windows be an issue as far as visibility for a LEO and cause him problems? He does attract a lot of attention with his truck and has been pulled over several times in the past for various reasons. Thanks for any advice or insight.
