My wife and her Dad are under the impression that they can't carry openly since the have their CWP. Can someone point me to something that I can show them otherwise?
They both say thank you for the information. They were both going off of what their instructor told them 15 years ago...lol.

In this thread, I have heard the permit called by several sets of initials. Folks, in NC it is a CHP (concealed handgun permit).

Bravo, sir, for pointing this out. It appears that I'm FINALLY getting through to the populace with this point... :monkey
North Carolina issues Concealed Handgun Permits. It does NOT allow you to carry any OTHER type of weapon (knives, batons, etc) concealed--it ONLY applies to lawfully-owned handguns...

I'm usually the one to bring this up--you beat me to the punch! Thanks, "p85" for pointing this out to everyone...
The NC CHP does not cover rifles or any other weapon one would like to conceal, only handguns. It doesn't give permission or allowance to conceal any other weapon such as a rifle, knife, "blackjack", or anything else as far as I know.
there is nothing illegal about having the rifle in the vehicle, covered or not, provided it is not loaded. A loaded long gun in the vehicle is illegal.
So anyone who has any rifle within reach that is not in the open is in violation of the law no matter what. That sucks. Once again why concealed weapons should be legal without permits. That is BS

CHP is also singular and the opinion is only one handgun can be concealed. AFAIK noone has been charged so there is no case law to get a clear definition of how many you can conceal.
