Okay, first things first… you cannot "execute" a serial port.  Don't 
bother setting the 'x' bits.

That to me says, your permissions problem is _not_ with the serial port. 
  There is _some other_ file that `chirp` is trying to open, can't 
because of permissions, and _that_ is causing your "Permission Denied" 
error.

The fact your ran `sudo chirpw` to launch Chirp probably suggests it 
created files as the `root` user.  I'd try running:

find ${HOME} -user 0

and reviewing that list of files, I suspect most of these should be 
owned by your own user account, then fixing ownership by running:

sudo chown $( id -u ):$( id -g ) ${files}

Or to recursively change permissions in whole directories (including 
home directory):

sudo chown -R $( id -u ):$( id -g ) ${directories}

I haven't lost my mind...
