North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for the denial of a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina?

1. Being under the age of 21

2. Having a felony conviction without it being expunged

3. Failing the firearms safety course

4. Lack of a North Carolina residency for more than 30 days

The correct answer is: Lack of a North Carolina residency for more than 30 days

Lack of a North Carolina residency for more than 30 days is not a valid reason for the denial of a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina because a valid state ID or driver's license is required to apply for the permit, and one must be a resident of the state to obtain these forms of identification. Additionally, the background check for a permit includes a check of the applicant's residency status, ensuring that only residents of North Carolina are eligible to obtain a permit. Therefore, this option is incorrect as it contradicts the necessary requirements for obtaining a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina. Options A, B, and C are all valid reasons for the denial of a Concealed Handgun Permit as they do not meet the state's eligibility requirements.
