North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

In North Carolina, to qualify for a Concealed Handgun Permit, an applicant must be how old?

1. 18 years old

2. 19 years old

3. 21 years old

4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

To qualify for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina, the applicant must be at least 21 years old. This is because the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in the state is 21 years old, so to be eligible for a concealed carry license, one must meet this requirement. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect as they do not meet this age requirement. It is important to note that in some states, such as Florida, the minimum age for a concealed carry permit is 18 years old, but this is not the case in North Carolina.
