The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, a non-resident of North Carolina can apply for a NC Concealed Handgun Permit if they are stationed there for military duty. North Carolina law allows active-duty military personnel stationed in North Carolina to apply for a concealed handgun permit regardless of their state of residence. It is important to note that they do not need to be a resident of North Carolina or live on a military base in order to apply for the permit. This provision helps military personnel stationed in North Carolina to exercise their Second Amendment rights while serving in the state.
