What type of firearm can you carry with a North Carolina CHP?

  1. Handgun only

  2. Any legally owned firearm

  3. Handgun and rifle

  4. Handgun, rifle, and shotgun

The correct answer is: Handgun only

A North Carolina CHP (Concealed Handgun Permit) only allows you to carry a handgun. You cannot carry any long guns, such as rifles or shotguns, with this permit. Option B, which states "Any legally owned firearm", is incorrect because while you may legally own other firearms in North Carolina, you cannot carry them with a CHP. Option C, which states "Handgun and rifle", is incorrect because as mentioned earlier, a CHP does not allow for the carrying of rifles. Option D, which states "Handgun, rifle, and shotgun", is also incorrect for the same reason. It's important to note that even with a CHP, there are certain places where carrying a handgun is prohibited by law.
