What is required to transport a handgun in a vehicle by a non-permit holder in North Carolina?

The handgun must be in plain view at all times
The handgun must be stored in a locked container
The handgun can be anywhere in the vehicle as long as it is unloaded
The handgun must be given to law enforcement during traffic stops

The correct answer is: The handgun must be stored in a locked container

In North Carolina, a non-permit holder transporting a handgun in a vehicle is required to have the handgun stored in a locked container. This measure ensures the handgun is not readily accessible to the driver or passengers, promoting safety and preventing unauthorized use of the firearm. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. The handgun must not be in plain view at all times to prevent potential theft or misuse. C. Just having the handgun unloaded is not sufficient for transportation in a vehicle by a non-permit holder. It still needs to be stored in a locked container. D. Non-permit holders are not required to give the handgun to law enforcement during traffic stops unless instructed to do so by a law enforcement officer for safety reasons.
