A:
North Carolina law generally does not recognize out-of-state concealed carry permits for vehicle carry. As a resident of NC, you must obtain a North Carolina-issued Concealed Handgun Permit to legally carry a concealed weapon in your vehicle.
While traveling in NC, you can transport firearms in your vehicle without a permit, but they must be in plain view or stored in a closed compartment/container. The firearm should be unloaded when stored in a case or container, and ammunition should be stored separately.
If you're interested in concealed carry in your vehicle, consider applying for a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit through your local sheriff's office. Until you obtain your NC permit, remember to follow the state's open carry and transportation laws to stay in compliance. For the most current and detailed information, you may want to consult with your local sheriff's office or review the NC General Statutes Chapter 14, Article 54B.
