In North Carolina, what is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP)?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 25 years

  4. 30 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In North Carolina, the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) is 21 years old. This is because the state law requires applicants to be at least 21 years old to legally purchase and possess a handgun. Option A, 18 years, is the minimum age requirement to apply for a regular handgun purchase permit, but not for a concealed carry permit. Options C, 25 years, and D, 30 years, are not mentioned in the state law and are therefore incorrect.
