North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

For a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit, fingerprinting is required for:

1. Initial applications only

2. Renewal applications only

3. Both initial and renewal applications

4. Neither initial nor renewal applications

The correct answer is: Initial applications only

For a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit, fingerprinting is required for initial applications. This process helps ensure that thorough background checks can be conducted to verify the applicant's eligibility to possess a concealed handgun permit. Renewal applications do not typically require fingerprinting since the initial background check would still be valid unless there are specific reasons that require updated information or a reevaluation of the applicant's eligibility.
