When carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina, the handgun must:

  1. Be carried in an invisible holster at all times

  2. Remain concealed from public view at all times

  3. Be openly displayed to avoid alarming the public

  4. Only be concealed when in public buildings

The correct answer is: Remain concealed from public view at all times

When carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina, the law requires that the handgun must be concealed from public view at all times. This means that it should not be openly displayed or carried in a visible holster. It is important to keep the handgun concealed to avoid alarming the public and to follow the regulations set by the state. Option A and C are incorrect because they suggest openly carrying the handgun, which is not allowed when carrying a concealed handgun. Option D is incorrect because it implies that you can openly carry the handgun when not in a public building, which is also not allowed in North Carolina. Therefore, the only correct option is B.
