Which of the following statements about disclosing you are carrying a concealed handgun to a law enforcement officer in North Carolina is true?

  1. You must disclose this information only if the officer asks

  2. You are not required to disclose this information

  3. You must immediately disclose this information upon approach by any law enforcement officer

  4. You only need to disclose this information if you are carrying the handgun openly

The correct answer is: You must immediately disclose this information upon approach by any law enforcement officer

In North Carolina, it is required by law for individuals carrying a concealed handgun to immediately disclose this information upon approach by any law enforcement officer. This means that you must inform the officer that you have a concealed handgun on your person, even if they do not explicitly ask. Option A is incorrect because while some states only require disclosure if asked by the officer, North Carolina does not have this provision. Option B is incorrect because as stated, in North Carolina, it is required to disclose this information. Option D is incorrect because the law specifically states that disclosure is required for concealed handguns, not just for open carry. Therefore, C is the most accurate statement.
