Who is eligible to apply for a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP)?

  1. Any resident over the age of 21

  2. Non-residents who own property in the state

  3. Only military personnel stationed in North Carolina

  4. All residents regardless of age

The correct answer is: Any resident over the age of 21

Anyone who is a resident of North Carolina and is at least 21 years old is eligible to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit. Non-residents who own property in the state and military personnel stationed in North Carolina are not automatically eligible and must meet additional requirements in order to apply. Additionally, applicants must meet certain criteria, such as completing a firearm safety course and passing a criminal background check, in order to be approved for a CHP. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fully encompass all the requirements for obtaining a CHP in North Carolina.
