Only when the individual is using the handgun
At any time the officer deems necessary
After the individual has committed a crime
Officers are not allowed to ask for the permit

The correct answer is: At any time the officer deems necessary

Law enforcement officers in North Carolina can ask an individual carrying a concealed handgun to present their permit at any time the officer deems necessary. This is in line with North Carolina's Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) laws, which require individuals to have their permit in their possession whenever they are carrying a concealed handgun. It is important for individuals with a CHP to be aware of this requirement and be prepared to present their permit to law enforcement upon request to avoid any legal issues. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. Only when the individual is using the handgun - Law enforcement officers can ask for the permit at any time deemed necessary, not just when the individual is actively using the handgun. C. After the individual has committed a crime - Officers can ask for the permit at any time they deem necessary, not just after a crime has been committed. D. Officers are not allowed to ask for the permit - In North Carolina, officers are indeed allowed to ask for the permit at any time they deem necessary.
