selling covered calls?

now I'm sitting on some profits that I'd be happy to take some off the table and have the remainin portion be a longterm hold, but then it's going to be taxed as short term capital gains so this doesn't make much sense.

My friend was pitching me the idea of potentially selling some covered calls, so for instance $32 call for NOV 15 (and you repeat every 2 week expiry), if I'm happy with the current returns I have now, if it raise above this it'd be okay I'll just give 100 shares per contract and not make the additional profit above 32. and if it doesn't raise above I'd just have the premium. That actually made sense to me.
Although, let's say it raised above 32 and I gave 100 shares -- how do I get taxed on that? I don't know this bit -- if it's the same then not a huge benefit.

What are your thoughts in terms of the strategy?
