In which of these scenarios would carrying a concealed handgun with a CHP be illegal in North Carolina?

  1. While consuming alcohol

  2. In a vehicle on a public road

  3. At a shooting range

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: While consuming alcohol

Carrying a concealed handgun with a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) would be illegal in North Carolina while consuming alcohol. It is important to note that consuming alcohol impairs judgment and can lead to dangerous situations when handling firearms. Therefore, it is prohibited to carry a concealed handgun while under the influence of alcohol in order to ensure the safety of oneself and others. In contrast, carrying a concealed handgun with a CHP in a vehicle on a public road and at a shooting range are generally allowed in North Carolina, as long as the individual with the permit is following all laws and regulations related to carrying concealed handguns. The option stating "None of the above" is not correct in this scenario, as carrying a concealed handgun while consuming alcohol is indeed illegal in North Carolina.
