My email to the CCSO Services office was answered by the CCSO lawyer.
Your inquiry concerning procedures regarding Chief Law Enforcement
Officer certification pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §14-409.41.
As you may be aware, the
governor signed the Bill (H.B. 562) into law as N.C. Sess. L. 2015-195 on
August 5. Since then we have been
examining potential procedural policies related to the new law. While those policies have not been fully
promulgated, we have completed the preparation of a form for requests for
certification.
You may wish to request that
form which is a fillable PDF form, which must be completed by typing the
required information into the form, and returning it to the Sheriff’s Office’s
Services Division, Gun Permits Office.
We will be making determinations
as to whether the Sheriff will be in a position to grant such an application
for certification.
If you have additional
questions, please contact us.
Thank you.

That sounds to me like Sheriff Butler will continue to refuse to sign.
