How soon must a permit holder inform law enforcement they are carrying a concealed handgun during a traffic stop in North Carolina?

  1. Immediately

  2. Only if asked by the officer

  3. Within 3 minutes of the stop

  4. It is not required to disclose

The correct answer is: Immediately

Per North Carolina law, permit holders must immediately inform law enforcement during a traffic stop that they are carrying a concealed handgun. This means that as soon as the permit holder is approached by the officer or engaged in any way, they must disclose that they have a concealed handgun in their possession. This is to ensure the safety of both the permit holder and the officer. Options B and C are incorrect because there is no time limit for informing law enforcement and the permit holder must do so immediately. Option D is also incorrect because North Carolina law requires disclosure during a traffic stop.
