Well with backing of the Sherriffs assoc in NC. It looks like an old law that should never have been may be coming off the books. In NC for those not familiar,If someone wanted to buy a handgun, A trip to the local Sherriffs dept was necessary. 5.00 and possibly up to a 5 day wait. Then another wait to pick up the handgun. If it makes it through the NC senate will be a thing of the past. It does not effect folks with CCW.
It is an old Jim Crow era law. Its another small victory. But we will take it!

Arnie, as a fellow North Carolinian … I hope it passes. I do have a CCW permit, so it doesn’t impact me directly. But before I had my CCW permit, I had to wait almost 3 weeks for my pistol permit to get approved. It’s an admin burden to our Sheriffs, and totally unnecessary.

Hoping some of that common sense legislation will find it’s way out here to the "left coast’! Politicians should spend more time eliminating stupid laws instead of creating new ones!
