No local knowledge, but at 95 miles from the center of town to CLT on Google maps, I don't see a problem if it's a 1-45 drive time. If you want a "no-worries" existence, have a bug-out-bag packed along with a uniform in your car while playing golf or antiquing with the wife (or girlfriend), and you probably won't hear "boo" ever with a short call out.

If someone tries to pin you down on a 2 hour notification to sign in time, they're full of sheet. I haven't heard any discussion of what the trip wire is, but 4+ will get your reserve buddies ****ed at you for covering your trips, while nobody would (or should cry) if it takes 2 hours to get there.
A little gray area, hope this helps.
