You can consume alcohol as long as you do not become impaired

Your blood alcohol content must be below .08

You cannot consume alcohol or be under the influence while carrying concealed

In North Carolina, it is illegal to consume alcohol or be under the influence while carrying a concealed handgun. This restriction is in place to ensure that individuals who are carrying a concealed weapon are doing so responsibly and not potentially putting themselves or others in danger by mixing alcohol with firearms.

Option A is incorrect because it is not sufficient to simply avoid becoming impaired; the law prohibits any consumption of alcohol while carrying a concealed handgun.

Option B is incorrect because it sets a specific blood alcohol content (BAC) limit which is not the standard used in North Carolina law regarding alcohol and concealed carry.

Option D is incorrect because, in North Carolina, it is a legal requirement, not just advice, to refrain from alcohol consumption while carrying a concealed handgun.
