Which of the following is true about carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina with a valid permit?

It is allowed in all government buildings
It is allowed in national parks
It must be concealed at all times when in public
It can be either open or concealed, as per the holder’s preference

The correct answer is: It must be concealed at all times when in public

Carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina with a valid permit requires that the handgun must be concealed at all times when in public. This means that the firearm should not be visible to the ordinary sight of another person. Concealed carry permit holders must ensure that their handgun is fully concealed by clothing or in a holster specifically designed for concealed carry. This regulation helps maintain a level of discretion and security for both the gun owner and those around them. Options A and B are incorrect as carrying a concealed handgun is generally prohibited in government buildings and national parks unless otherwise explicitly allowed by law. Option D is also incorrect as the North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit specifically requires that the handgun be concealed while in public.
