What type of ammunition is prohibited from use in a handgun carried with a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit?

Hollow-point
Armor-piercing
Trace
Full metal jacket

The correct answer is: Armor-piercing

The correct answer is B, armor-piercing ammunition. This type of ammunition is designed to penetrate armor and is banned for civilian use in most states, including North Carolina. Hollow-point ammunition, while restricted in some states, is not prohibited from use in a handgun carried with a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit. Trace ammunition, sometimes referred to as "glaser" rounds, are also not specifically prohibited in North Carolina, however they may fall under the category of "armor-piercing" ammunition if they have a metal core. Full metal jacket ammunition, while not as effective for self-defense, is not prohibited from use in a handgun carried with a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit.
