Attention NC CCW holders!

[WNC Seabee]

I don't support the elimination of the purchase permit, in general. However, the bill doesn't eliminate background checks, just change where and when they are done.....so no harm no foul (IMO). I have a NC- CCW permit, so as others have mentioned, that aspect does not affect me.

I, like others, would NEVER EVER sell a gun to any one without a relevant paper trail - and a suitable background check. The purchase permit was perfect for this. Since the NICS system is not available to individuals.... in future, I will NOT sell to an individual without going through an FFL, so that the check can be done - even though it will add to the cost.

As for the rest of the bill, I do favor it very much. So, YEA !!!

As passed and signed by the governor, the purchase permit system is still in place. They removed some of the discretion the Sheriffs had, but the $5 permit and requirement for private sales remains in place.

Great to hear the news, NC is at the top of my list of retirement states. Coming down again in Oct, great people in that state.

If you are looking to move down hear, I would suggest staying away from the big cities in the central part of the state. The mountains and shore are much more rural and friendly. Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro are mostly transplants from NY, NJ, DC ect(no offense if that's where you are coming from . We came down from MD in 2005 and its gotten worse every year, our 5 year plan is to be in MT or WY with the wife's family.
