Which of the following is a requirement to maintain a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Annual requalification with a firearm

  2. Continuous residency in North Carolina

  3. No alcohol consumption

  4. Membership in a local gun club

The correct answer is: Continuous residency in North Carolina

To maintain a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP), the holder must continuously reside within the state of North Carolina. This means that they must live in North Carolina for the entire duration of their permit and cannot move to another state without forfeiting their CHP. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals with a CHP are familiar with local laws and regulations, as well as being a resident with a valid address for any necessary notifications or paperwork. The other options are incorrect because A: While annual requalification with a firearm may be a requirement in some states, it is not a requirement for maintaining a North Carolina CHP. However, holders are encouraged to regularly practice and maintain proficiency with their firearm. C: While it is important for anyone handling a firearm to do so safely and responsibly, there is no specific requirement for permit holders to abstain from alcohol consumption. However, using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol is illegal and can result in the revocation of a CHP. D: While being a member of a local gun club may provide opportunities for training and practice, it is not a requirement for maintaining a North Carolina CHP.
