It's not, he might could get away with it in some jurisdictions but not most of them. Safe open carry in NC is a shirt tucked, it on your belt, and in a holster. In the car it's on the dash. You might could get away with it on the seat if it's like on the very forward edge or something. But every officers I've talked to is cautious if about car open carry.

If he is carrying the handgun un-holstered in his hand to the house, it sounds like that could be considered to be brandishing.

1) Open carry in a vehicle is completely legal in NC.

2) You can hand-carry a handgun as long as your on private property.

While it may be legal, I'd certainly not like to be in that position, if being approached by LEOs. It might get a little "dicey."

the seat part will work as long as it is where it can be seen. Carring into house in your hand as long as it can be seen i don't of a law that said you can't do that. NC is open carry the pistol has to be where it can been seen.

Sounds to me that your daughter needs to find herself a smarter boy friend! or at least one that can afford a holster!
