In North Carolina, where is it explicitly illegal to carry a concealed handgun, even with a permit?

  1. On private property where signs prohibit concealed carry

  2. In a vehicle without a locked container

  3. In a public park during daylight hours

  4. In an open field where hunting is permitted

The correct answer is: On private property where signs prohibit concealed carry

In North Carolina, it is explicitly illegal to carry a concealed handgun, even with a permit, on private property where signs prohibit concealed carry. This means that even if a person has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, they cannot do so on someone else's private property if there are signs posted prohibiting it. The other options listed are either incorrect for North Carolina specifically (such as carrying in a public park during daylight hours which is only restricted in certain counties) or are generally legal in North Carolina, just not in this specific scenario (such as carrying in a vehicle without a locked container, which is allowed with a valid permit in North Carolina).
