What does North Carolina law require you to do during any law enforcement encounter while carrying a concealed handgun?

Declare that you are carrying a concealed handgun immediately
Hand over your handgun to the officer
Only declare that you are carrying a concealed handgun if asked
There is no specific requirement

The correct answer is: Declare that you are carrying a concealed handgun immediately

In North Carolina, it is required by law for individuals carrying a concealed handgun to immediately declare to law enforcement that they have a concealed weapon on their person. This is for the safety of both the individual and the officer. Option B is incorrect because handing over the handgun to the officer without being asked can be seen as a threat and potentially escalate the situation. Option C is also incorrect because declaring only if asked goes against the required immediacy stated in the law. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific requirement, as stated in option A.
