What is the minimum age requirement to obtain a Concealed Handgun Permit in North Carolina?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. 30 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In North Carolina, the minimum age requirement to obtain a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) is 21 years old. This is because federal law prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer. Option A, 18 years old, is incorrect because it does not meet the federal requirement for purchasing a handgun. Options C and D, 25 and 30 years old respectively, are incorrect because they are too high above the minimum age requirement. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 21 years old.
