What is required for a concealed handgun permit holder to do upon official contact with law enforcement in North Carolina?

  1. Nothing is required

  2. Immediately disclose that they are carrying a weapon

  3. Hand over the weapon to the officer

  4. Only disclose if asked by the officer

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose that they are carrying a weapon

Upon official contact with law enforcement in North Carolina, a concealed handgun permit holder is required to immediately disclose that they are carrying a weapon. This is because North Carolina is a state that follows "must-inform" laws, meaning that permit holders are required to inform law enforcement of their concealed weapon upon any interaction. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not comply with North Carolina's "must-inform" law. Option A is incorrect because it implies that the permit holder does not have to do anything upon contact with law enforcement. Option C is incorrect because it implies that the permit holder must hand over their weapon, which is not required by North Carolina law. Option D is incorrect because it implies that the permit holder only needs to disclose if asked, rather than immediately upon contact.
