What action should a permit holder take when approached by law enforcement in North Carolina if carrying a concealed handgun?

Immediately disclose that you are carrying a concealed handgun
Only disclose if asked by the law enforcement officer
Keep silent about carrying a concealed handgun
Hand the handgun to the officer for safety

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose that you are carrying a concealed handgun

It is important for a permit holder to immediately disclose to law enforcement that they are carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina. This is required by law and failure to disclose this information can result in penalties, including the revocation of a concealed carry permit. It is important to note that this is specific to North Carolina and may not apply in other states. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the law in North Carolina. Option B may also cause suspicion or confusion from the law enforcement officer if they were not aware of the gun before being asked. Option C is not only against the law, but also can be seen as deceptive and may escalate the situation. Option D is also incorrect because it is not the law for a permit holder to hand over their handgun to law enforcement unless they are instructed to do so. It is always best to follow the laws and guidelines to ensure the safety of all involved.
