How long is a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 2 years

  2. 4 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

The North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit is valid for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This is the only correct option as the other choices do not align with the valid period stated by the state law. A, B, and D are all incorrect because they are shorter or longer periods of time than the 5-year validity period stated by state law. It is important to note that it is the responsibility of the permit holder to renew their permit before it expires. Failure to do so may result in the permit becoming invalid and potentially facing legal consequences if carrying a concealed handgun.
