In North Carolina, what is the required waiting period before receiving a CHP after the application is submitted?

There is no waiting period
Up to 45 days
Up to 90 days
Up to 180 days

The correct answer is: Up to 45 days

In North Carolina, the CHP (concealed handgun permit) is issued by the county sheriff's office. After submitting the application, the law requires that the sheriff's office conduct an investigation and complete a national criminal background check. The waiting period can vary depending on the workload of the sheriff's office, but the maximum waiting period is 45 days. Options C and D, which state waiting periods of 90 days and 180 days respectively, are incorrect because they exceed the maximum allowed waiting period. Option A is also incorrect because although there is no specific waiting period mentioned in the law, the maximum is still 45 days. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and complete answer.
