How often must you renew your North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Every 5 years

  2. Every year

  3. Every 3 years

  4. Every 10 years

The correct answer is: Every 5 years

In North Carolina, concealed handgun permits must be renewed every 5 years. This option is the only choice that accurately reflects the established renewal timeline for the permit. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they either suggest more frequent or less frequent renewals, which do not align with the actual renewal requirements. For example, renewing every year, as stated in option B, would be more costly and time-consuming for gun owners, while renewing every 10 years, as stated in option D, would leave a large gap in which the permit holder's personal information may have changed significantly. Therefore, option A is the most suitable choice for the renewal period of a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit.
