Applied for my pistol permit last week for Wake county.  How long can I expect for this to take?

Pistol purchase permit? Or concealed handgun permit?

5 business days.  To be safe show up on the 6th day to pick them up.  You'll either get your permits or be arrested because the background check found out you're a criminal

when I bought my one and only pistol permit, it took 2 weeks.  that was in nov of 2012 too, before sandyhook.  now I have a conceal carry so I don't have to worry about that BS.

Called today and was told 3-4 WEEKS!!! what in the actual tarnation is this BS?  I'm going to go down to the sheriff's officer tomorrow to see if there is anyway this can be expedited. I mean, how can it possibly take someone this long to submit my information for a background check... .Sure wish I could just flash my Florida conceal carry permit to prevent this hoop jumping.

I am so jealous. I'm getting ready to move states (Md) and was hoping to make purchase/trade before moving.  Blah. So deflated.

the 2006's  Back when a gun was just a gun and background checks didn't require 4 weeks to process. I can't describe to you all how irritated I am that even though I have a Conceal carry permit from a state that NC has 99.9% reciprocity with, that I still have to wait friggin 3-4 weeks. It's absurd. It's also absurd that we still don't have nationwide reciprocity.  Ugh.  And I'm moving to maryland Sunday an even worse state for these concerns.
