Matthews Police Corporal - We can take your gun for Officer Safety.

[cap-n-ball]

I know a few years ago I was stopped in Yadkin County on I-85, had a .36 cal Navy Colt in the holster right in front of my seat on the passenger side. laying against the trans tunnel on my car. State trooper saw it and asked if if was loaded to which I replied it was. He asked me if he could hold onto it while we talked to which I asked if I would get it back. His reply was yes. After our discussion and his issuance of a speeding ticket he placed my gun on the back seat and told me if I happened to get stopped in another state to tell them I had it in the car. Never had any problems and never searched my vehicle for any other weapons, but did ask what was in the gun case on the floor, to which I replied powder, shot and percussion caps. With my permission he checked it and put it back on the floor. One of the best experiences I've ever had in a traffic stop in any state.

A CCW will make no difference. NC law is a must inform state concerning concealed. And the officer still can take the weapon for officer safety. I have never had my gun seized, but I would inform the officer that I do not consent to any searches and seizures. That may help you get your gun back just in case the officer thinks he wants to keep it.

Failure to tell officer during a traffic stop you are concealing will cost you the permit. That is about 180 bucks down the drain, depending on cost of the class and ammo.

NC issues CHP, not the more generic CCW permits.

Guess I should have looked first. I knew there was some kind of punishment. Still 100 bucks, plus court costs is more than I want to throw away.

that out of both of your systems...the NC Attorney General calls it a quote: North Carolina concealed carry permit unquote throughout his document outlining NC firearm laws...http://www.ncsheriffs.org/documents/2007-NC-Firearms-gun-Laws-rev2011.pdf

additionally the NC statutes refer to the same term as well as quote concealed weapon or handgun unquote throughout chapter 14 http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByArticle/Chapter_14/Article_54B.html

Just proves why you shouldn't take an attorney's word at face value. Looking at my own permit, it says "North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit" across the top.
