North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

According to North Carolina law, it is expressly forbidden to carry a concealed handgun in several specific locations, even if you have a concealed handgun permit. These locations include state or federal government offices, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, and private properties that have clearly posted signs indicating 'No Concealed Weapons.'

The law aims to ensure safety in sensitive environments like government buildings where public employees and the public interact, in establishments serving alcohol where the focus may lead to increased risks of violence, and on private property where the owner has the right to establish rules regarding firearms. Hence, carrying a concealed handgun in any of these locations violates the law, regardless of whether the individual holds a permit. This comprehensive prohibition emphasizes the importance of following the specific regulations set forth by North Carolina law regarding concealed carry.
