Is it required to disclose the possession of a concealed handgun to a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop in North Carolina?

Yes, immediately upon the officer's approach
No, unless asked by the officer
Yes, but only if the officer asks if you have a weapon
It varies by county within North Carolina

The correct answer is: Yes, immediately upon the officer's approach

It is required to disclose the possession of a concealed handgun to a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop in North Carolina. This is because North Carolina is an "open carry" state, meaning individuals can openly carry a handgun without a permit, but concealed carry requires a permit. Therefore, if you are legally carrying a concealed handgun, you must disclose this information to the officer upon their approach. Options B and C are incorrect because they suggest that disclosure is only necessary if the officer asks, which is not the case in North Carolina. Option D is also incorrect because the law applies statewide and does not vary by county.
