What type of background check is conducted for a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit application?

  1. Criminal only

  2. Criminal and mental health

  3. Credit and criminal

  4. Employment and criminal

The correct answer is: Criminal and mental health

For a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit application, both criminal and mental health background checks are conducted. This is crucial to ensure that the applicant does not have a criminal record that would disqualify them from obtaining a permit and to assess their mental health status to determine if they are fit to carry a concealed handgun. Conducting both types of background checks helps to promote public safety and responsible gun ownership among permit holders.
