In order to conceal carry in North Carolina, the handgun must be:

Visible to others at all times
Partially visible when carrying
Not visible to others
Carried in a shoulder or belt holster only

The correct answer is: Not visible to others

In order to conceal carry in North Carolina, the handgun must not be visible to others at any time. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect. Carrying a handgun in a visible manner, whether partially visible or in a holster, would be considered open carry which is restricted in North Carolina. Additionally, carrying a handgun in a shoulder or belt holster is not the only option for concealed carry. Other methods, such as carrying in a purse or ankle holster, are also allowed as long as the handgun remains concealed.
