For whatever reason my wife was surfing the NCHP site yesterday and stumbled on this. I have always been told that a locked glovebox/console was not a good idea in NC. I know that is the only way you can carry in SC without a CCP. I have also talked to folks that have interacted with LEO while having a gun in a locked glovebox with no problems. Thoughts? Although it's useless for me, neither of mine lock.

It is unlawful to carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle unless the person has a North Carolina concealed carry permit. A person who is not a convicted felon may carry a handgun if not concealed. A handgun is concealed in a vehicle if it cannot be readily seen by a person approaching and if it is readily accessible. A handgun under the front seat or in an unlocked glove box or console is illegal. A handgun openly displayed or in a locked glove box, locked console, or in the trunk is lawful.
