Which of the following is a requirement to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina?

  1. U.S. citizenship

  2. Residency in North Carolina for 6 months

  3. Ownership of a handgun

  4. A valid driver's license

The correct answer is: Residency in North Carolina for 6 months

To apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina, residents are required to have lived in North Carolina for at least 6 months. This means that the other options are incorrect for various reasons. Option A is incorrect because U.S. citizenship is not a requirement for obtaining a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina. Option C is incorrect because while owning a handgun may be necessary for carrying a concealed handgun, it is not a requirement for applying for a permit. Finally, option D is incorrect because while a valid driver's license may be used as a form of identification during the application process, it is not a requirement for obtaining a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina. Thus, option B is the only correct answer as it specifically addresses the residency requirement for applying for a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina.
