Which of the following actions is required when encountering a law enforcement officer while carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina?

Conceal the handgun more deeply
Immediately notify the officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun
Only disclose if the officer inquires
None of the above

The correct answer is: Immediately notify the officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun

When encountering a law enforcement officer while carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina, it is required by law to immediately notify the officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun. This is for the safety of both the officer and the carrying individual. Choosing option A, to conceal the handgun more deeply, is not a sufficient action as the officer may still discover the concealed handgun during an encounter. Option C, to only disclose if the officer inquires, is not advisable as it could be seen as deceptive and result in consequences. Option D is also incorrect as it is required by law to inform the officer. Therefore, option B is the correct and necessary action in this situation.
