What type of training is required before applying for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina?

  1. Basic law enforcement training

  2. State-approved firearms safety or training course

  3. Military basic training

  4. No training is required

The correct answer is: State-approved firearms safety or training course

Before applying for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina, individuals are required to complete a state-approved firearms safety or training course. This training is essential to ensure that applicants understand how to safely handle firearms and are aware of the laws and regulations surrounding concealed carry. Basic law enforcement training and military basic training do not specifically cover the requirements for civilian concealed carry permits. The option stating that no training is required is incorrect as North Carolina law mandates completion of a firearms safety or training course before applying for a Concealed Handgun Permit.
