In North Carolina, to purchase a pistol, you have to get a permit from the local sheriff's department. If you have a CCW, that is waved, so there is no added wait, just fill out the paper and leave with your gun.

You do not have to qualify with the gun you choose to carry and they are not listed on your CCW.

I had a CCW in Broward County Florida, before the CCW laws went to the shall issue status and the guns had to be listed on the permit.
