I hate to be a nit-picker, but if you live in NC, it is a CHP.
Concealed Handgun Permit...
And everyone knows what I mean.

Dude, it's either visible or it aint. Sort of like being more pregnant.
I'm not a lawyer, but from my review of the AG's document, I don't see any sliding scale for measuring "how visible" it has to be.
Just like if you carry in a IWB holster Vs. an OWB holster. It's carried openly, regardless of the fact that 90% of the gun is not visible in an IWB holster.

as many people have already said, it is considered "concealed" if it in on your right hip and your driving, especially if you have your seat belt on which will cover it even more. I know this for a fact cause the exact question is covered in most CHP training courses and all the instructors of the course will tell you that.

can you show me the law that states a driver with a gun on their right hip is considered to be concealing the gun when driving? none of the officers I've talked to about this, especially the ones I'm confronted with during stops or roadblocks, have ever brought up the issue as to weather or not I was concealing my gun.
"Whether, in a given case, a weapon is concealed from the public, is a question of fact to be resolved by a jury."
Again, this leaves a LOT to interpretation. What is "concealed"? Does it mean it can't be seen by an officer standing outside your car, looking in through the drivers side window? Does it mean it is covererd or intentionally obscured by clothing? Does it mean that if your seatbelt obscures it, it is "concealed"?Therefore, the central question becomes: when is the weapon concealed and readily accessible to an occupant of an automobile? Obviously, a weapon would be concealed and readily accessible, and therefore in violation of North Carolina law, if it were placed in such areas of a vehicle as under the seat of the automobile; in a bag in the back seat; or in some other manner is covered or hidden within the easy reach of an occupant of the vehicle.
