After how many years of residency in North Carolina can one apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit?

There is no residency requirement
After 1 year
After 30 days
After 6 months

The correct answer is: After 6 months

After 6 months of residency in North Carolina, one can apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit. This option is different from the other choices because it falls in between the longer options such as "there is no residency requirement" and "after 1 year" and the shorter options of "after 30 days". This time frame gives the resident enough time to establish ties to the community and demonstrate good character before being able to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit. Additionally, the longer options such as "there is no residency requirement" are incorrect because there is actually a requirement of at least 6 months of residency before applying for the permit. The shorter options such as "after 30 days" and "after 1 year" are also incorrect because 30 days would not provide enough time for a person to establish ties to the community and demonstrate good character, and 1 year is longer than the actual requirement. Therefore, "after 6 months" is the most accurate and reasonable option.
