 Largely do to the NC sheriffs association which is also majority R. They don’t want to lose their pistol permit or cchl money.

I don't think that the $35 per carry permit or $5 per purchase permit is much of a windfall for the local sheriffs department after you cover the administrative and records keeping costs.

So, you need a permit to buy a pistol, they do a background check to verify you can own/purchase, and then you get a purchase permit. But, then you can't actually have the pistol on you unless you get another permit? So then You have to take an 8 hour course, prove proficient accuracy at different range distances, and forgo all of your personal health records to your local sheriff ?

So.

1) If you have a wife or daughter who can't shoot well at distance, and they are being attacked, they don't have the right to protect themselves ?
2) If you have PTSD, or anxiety, the local sheriff plays Doctor and qualifies whether you have the right to save yourself or loved ones ?
3) If you're new to the area, and legally can buy a gun, you can't protect yourself with it until you jump through all of these hoops?

What happens in the meantime when you're at a grocery store and you left your legally owned firearm at home because you don't have permission to actually have it on you, and some psycho goes in and kills everyone? You just have to huddle your family in the corner and hope for the best ?


Yes you need a purchase permit or a CHP to buy a handgun in NC however you don't need a permit to carry as long as its open carry. If you want to carry concealed then you need a CHP
I'm all for keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. But this just sounds like a permit that solely targets/prohibits the already inherently law abiding folks.
