Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a concealed handgun in North Carolina?

  1. Public parks

  2. Banks

  3. Areas prohibited by federal law

  4. Private properties where signage prohibits concealed carry

The correct answer is: Areas prohibited by federal law

In North Carolina, it is illegal to carry a concealed handgun in areas prohibited by federal law. This includes locations such as federal buildings, post offices, schools, and other federally designated zones where firearms are not permitted. It is important to be aware of these restrictions to avoid violating the law and risking penalties. Options A, B, and D are not universally prohibited locations for carrying a concealed handgun in North Carolina. While there may be specific guidelines or restrictions related to carrying in certain public parks, banks, or private properties with signage prohibiting concealed carry, these situations are not blanket illegalities like carrying in areas prohibited by federal law.
