Carry a photocopy of permit instead of original?

In NC, our permit is linked to our driver's license. If a cop runs your tag and you're the registered owner of the vehicle, it will notify him you've got a concealed carry permit before he ever gets out of his car.
You are very correct, Pir8fan. Most cops call in the plate prior to stopping the vehicle, but rarely know the result of the check (unless something is wrong) until clearing the stop. I was concerned in 1995 when then Attorney General Mike (W)easley made the decision to link DMV and CHP records, afraid it would be "the mark of Cain" on CHP holders, but I think it may have had the opposite effect, letting cops know that the owner is maybe a good guy...... (Never assume!) Most NC cops treat all stops like they are armed, but know there are both good guys and bad guys with guns, not just bad guys....... Go ECU Pirates!!!!
 


what is this nonsense that a cop will think that you are a good guy because you have some sort of permit. a cop who goes by that isn't much of a cop

If that's what you got out of my post, you're just looking for something to complain about..... Rather than nit-pick a pro-gunner, you should be trying to convert an anti-gunner... Have a Merry Christmas! !
 
Agreed


I think you're right. Not worth the risk to carry a photocopy despite the inconvenience. Thanks to all whose replies were to the point.
 
I wouldn't carry a copy because it was not issued by the state. I wouldn't do it especially how the gun grabbers are running around like the flying monkeys from the wizard of oz. JK. lol.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
