NC CCW is plain vanilla per what I've read. Our law is somewhere between the regular and enhanced permits you posted aboe. We can carry at establishments that serve alcohol - but we can't drink a drop of it while concealing.

Our castle doctrine was enhanced with additional legislation last December. There was also some weird legislative twist where we were not allowed to carry concealed in any designated emergency zones, which was a complete joke. That got struck down several months ago - common sense does occasionally prevail.

We do have an emergency-issue CCW permit that is not-at-all advertised, even on non-state websites. I was issued one of those earlier this year on a temporary basis, and now have my 5-year full permit. The emergency-issue permits are granted only under exceptional circumstances however - they are not handed out like the hardship permits in TX for 15 year old drivers in another thread.
