Elk in NC? I missed them or may have just thought they were deer. Be careful if you go into the National Park, guns are still prohibited there.
In the national park you cannot carry period. Open, concealed, permit or not.
Otherwise you can carry open or concealed with your permit.
All of my LEO contacts have been positive. I got stopped in Raleigh by a RPD officer awhile back going a few miles over the speed limit. I had a .45, a .40, and a 9mm lying in the passenger seat. He asked me if they were all mine and I said yep. Then he gave me a ticket and went on his way. I figured he might at least check the serial numbers, but he didn't. Guess he didn't want me touching them.
Codes of Federal Regulations, Title 36, Volume 1, Parts 1 to 199/Section 2.4 Weapons, Traps, and Nets: covers your situation:
You can transport your firearm if it is in a case, unloaded, or dismantled. If you have a summer home in a National Park, you are allowed to keep a loaded firearm in the dwelling, but you cannot travel with the firearm loaded outside of this dwelling.
The Federal prohibitin against carrying in Natinal parks has been lifted. You are subject to state laws. So If you have an NC CC permit, or a permit from a reciprocal state, you can concealed in a National park in NC. And there is no law agains open carry in NC, so you can OC in a National park in NC.
That was a rider attached to one of the recently enacted stimulus bills.
