In what circumstance can a private business in North Carolina prevent a valid Concealed Handgun Permit holder from entering with a concealed handgun?

  1. If the business serves alcohol

  2. By posting a conspicuous notice or sign

  3. If the owner verbally informs the permit holder

  4. In all of the above circumstances

The correct answer is: By posting a conspicuous notice or sign

Private businesses in North Carolina can only prevent a valid Concealed Handgun Permit holder from entering with a concealed handgun if they post a conspicuous notice or sign. This means that the owner must post a visible and noticeable notice on the premises stating that concealed handguns are not allowed. Options A and C are incorrect because North Carolina law allows permit holders to enter businesses serving alcohol with a concealed handgun, and verbal notice from the owner is not sufficient in this case. Option D is incorrect because businesses can only prevent entry if they post a conspicuous notice or sign, not in all circumstances.
