What is the required method of carrying a concealed handgun in public under a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. In a shoulder or belt holster

  2. Concealed in a backpack or purse

  3. Hidden in a vehicle compartment

  4. In any manner, as long as it is concealed

The correct answer is: In any manner, as long as it is concealed

It is important to note that while option D may seem like the most convenient or flexible choice, it is actually incorrect. Most states, including North Carolina, have specific laws and regulations regarding the carrying of concealed firearms. These laws may include requirements for a specific type of holster, limiting where a firearm can be carried, or restrictions on the type of firearm that is allowed to be concealed. Therefore, the correct answer may vary depending on the specific laws and regulations of the state. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the legal requirements in North Carolina. Option A suggests that a specific type of holster is required, which may not be the case. Option B refers to concealing the firearm in a backpack or purse, which is not allowed in North Carolina. Option C suggests concealing the firearm in a vehicle compartment, which is also not allowed under a concealed handgun permit in North Carolina. It is important to research and understand the laws and regulations of your state before carrying a concealed handgun.
