From: NC Firearm Laws & Permits - NC Sheriffs' Association Note: In NC you can carry the firearm loaded and in your vehicle without any type of permit/license as long as it is visible. The law says you can't conceal it. So keep it in the open and you are legal.
If you prefer, you can apply online for a license. You can also use the website to renew or replace an existing license. Description: Use this application if you'd like to carry a gun outside your home.
If more than 60 days has passed since your permit expired, you must retake the concealed handgun training course, apply as a new applicant and submit the new training certificate with the application.
1. APPLICANT MUST BE 21 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE OR ID CARD. 2. IF YOU ARE A NON-RESIDENT, YOU MUST HAVE AN UNRESTRICTED LICENSE TO CARRY FROM YOUR HOME STATE.
For example, in NC it is lawful to be present in a bar with a pistol at a bar that doesn't prohibit guns, but you must maintain a 0.000% BAC while carrying.
Concealed carry of handguns only is legal with a license/permit in North Carolina. As a “shall issue” state, the local sheriff's office is required to issue concealed handgun permits to applicants who meet the basic state law requirements, which include: Be at least 21 years old.
Renewal applications for Concealed Handgun Permits are accepted in-person on a first-come, first-serve basis with no appointment necessary. You must submit your renewal application no more than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of your permit. The Sheriff's Office also offers limited appointments.
Your license is only valid in New York State. Therefore, you should voluntarily surrender your license with possible reinstatement if you return to New York. However, if you move out of state without notification, your pistol license will be deemed revoked and original application procedures would apply if you return.
Any individual who seeks to obtain a concealed carry license for a pistol or revolver will be required to take the 16-hour classroom and 2-hour live-fire firearm safety training course. This will be required for concealed carry licenses issued on or after September 1, 2022.
