Traveling to NC this weekend. Questions about NC CCW

[Class III]

I'll be traveling to NC this weekend to attend a college graduation. There is formal written resiprocity between TN and NC. I have several questions about NC carry laws. So, here goes.

1) NC , open or concealed carry?

2) If concealed carry, does the firearms have to be on your person or is it considered concealed if in the console/glove box/under seat while I am in the vehicle?

3) Can I carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol if I am not drinking an alcoholic beverage?

4) Any restrictions on ammunition type? Hey I used to live in NJ and at a $100.00 fine per round for HP ammo you could be severly depleted of walkin round money if you got caught with two or three mags full of HP.

I already know that I can't carry/possess on campus or at school sponsored events.

Thanks for any and all info you NC guys can send my way.

The big for sure no-no is #3. You cannot carry into an establishment that serves alcohol.

1) Yes - both are legal, in certain areas
2) It is considered concealed in a vehicle if it is in the console, glove box, under the seat, etc.
3) No
4) Nope

Back to #1: no CC in banks, but OC is OK if no signs are posted at the entrance
Also, no CC if attending a place where admission is charged (think movies, ball games, etc.)
And #3: not only restaurants where alcohol is served, but any establishment where alcohol is sold and consumed is off limits

...no restrictions on ammo type.

Here's the current handgun regs for NC as of April 2008 and I'm pretty sure they are still valid, I just moved from there last year.
