CCP. Concealed Carry Permit. Nope. Can't get one.
CWP. Concealed Weapons Permit. None of those either.
CCW. Concealed Carry Weapon. I'm not even sure what this means.
But you can get a CHP. Concealed Handgun Permit.
"But you know what I mean."
Yes I do. I also know what you mean when you say 30 round clip. Or when you say close the boarder.
Those are points of semantics and spelling...a 4th grade english class mistake.
But CHP is quite different. It carries a legal definition that if misunderstood can put you in jail and probably lose your ability to conceal carry anything ever again.
Kentucky has a CWP. You can carry concealed all manner of weapons...knives, batons, even brass knuckles.
NC is very specific, and they mean it. Concealed HANDGUN Permit. Handguns only. No knives, swords, nun-chucks, or bad breath.
Most starling I suppose, is guys here who actually have a NC CHP, and continue to refer to it as every other thing.
Yeah I know, big deal. We know what they mean.
But do they know what they mean? What other off-the-cuff gun stuff are they telling people?
Sorry, I'm on this today. Yesterday I had to explain to a newbie that when someone else told them to get a CCP, that it is not a CCP. They thought it meant knives and baseball bats included.
This might be the 9th time I've had to clarify the term to a new gun owner, and that in this case, words matter.
If you don't know what you got or what you can get, I'd suggest to just remain quiet on the topic and instead just go with a 30 round clip is standard capacity.
