Hello everyone in the carolinas. I live in North Carolina and I filed my concealed handgun application today. I know it can take up to 90 days but who got theirs back before then, and how long did it take? Jeremy From Lumberton. |
|
Mine was approved in about 30 days but no one called to tell me. I didn't want to call to check on it since I was told not to do so when I filled out the app so after about 100 days, I finally called. They wondered why I hadn't been down to pick it up......... Meck County. |
Put my application in on the 21st and got the call today that it's ready to pick up.  Too bad I'm here in Texas, waiting to hear if I'm deploying or not. Oh, well... It's a four day weekend, so huzzah. God bless! PFC Garber ETA: I'm in Cabarrus County when I'm home. |

4 months - Currituck County.... Excuse was that, "Once we send it off to Raleigh, it's out of our hands".... "So, are you sure it didn't get lost or misplaced somewhere? The guys in Dare County (next county south) get theirs in 30 days." "No, it getting lost couldn't happen"..... After I talked to the "Colonel" (old timer) at the local gun range he said, if your past military it can usually take quite awhile longer. So I don't know... But I finally got it... |
Damn, 4 months  I would have been pissed. Sounds to me like they laid it to the side,or lost it.

Forsyth County. 13 Days!!! he But I'm stuck waiting until Monday to pick it up now... |
Update: Today is day 102 and still do not have my permit. "It's been approved, but we're waiting for the permit to be printed" 
|
I don't know if it is worth it to you to fight with them over it but here is the wording of the legislation, note under item a.
|
The excuse that I got was that the "Permit had to be printed in Raleigh and sent to the sheriffs office." I guess that "someone" took a vacation week of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Guess the old saying that the wheels of government move very slowly. All that I know is that when the time comes up for renewal, I will apply 6 months before the permit expires to avoid delays like this. |
My Permit was supposedly "Approved in Raleigh" on 1-16. Still haven't heard anything. I'm calling again this morning. Surry County won't even let you apply for a renewal unless you're 90 days or less from expiration. Mine expires Wednesday.ETA: Called and it was there. It is now in my wallet. Nice of them to call and let me know it was ready.
|
Huh, that is why I am going to get mine in Pitt County(once I get my license changed, I've been going to school here for 4 years) instead of Currituck, where I am from. Too many hoops to jump through, even with just getting a handgun purchase permit. Oh well
|
No, what I am saying is they are required to issue the permit in 90 days, if it isn't ready yet they are required to give you a temp until the normal one is ready unless they are going to deny you. Now is it worth trying to make them do this? Probably not, but that is the way the law is written. |
