North Carolina law does allow individuals to store firearms in their vehicles as long as they are out of sight within a trunk, glove compartment or other enclosed area. What about police officers? The Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act, established in 2004, allows qualified active and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms in most locations across the country, with the exception of restrictions set by owners of private property and government installations. To qualify, a retired law enforcement officer has to have served an aggregate of 10 years and have photo identification issued by the agency from which they retired, among other requirements.
