What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) in North Carolina?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

While a person can legally purchase a handgun at 18 years old in North Carolina, they must be 21 years old to apply for a CHP. The other options, 18, 25, and 30 years old, are all incorrect. 18 and 30 years old are not the minimum age required for a CHP, and 25 years old is over the legal age for purchasing a handgun in North Carolina. The correct answer is B, 21 years old, as stated in North Carolina law.
