Gun Permits

[mudbug]

Has anyone heard anything about the Sheriff in Charlotte refusing to sign off on gun permits.

Getting a permit in Charlotte has always been slow they take all of the 90 days. After the events of New Town Chip Bailey, the sheriff of meck county told Wsoc that he would not issue permits until further notice. To my knowledge he has started issueing them again but again it’s slow.

I may be wrong but I think the law states shall issue within 90 days unless there is reason to deny ???

Some of you guys enjoy looking up stuff is this state Statue???

It actually changed to 45 days a little while back at the end of which they MUST issue if they have no reason to deny.

The catch is… that’s 45 days from the time they have _all_ required info. Mecklenburg county double-screws you on this- they have a 30-45 day wait to make an APPOINTMENT to file for the permit (in Wake I just walked in, no appointment, filed same day). Then they can take 90-120 days to get back your mental health info.

After they have THAT, it’s 45 days max by law.

So at the high end it could be 45 days to file, 120 days to get background check mental health info, 45 days for them to issue… 7 months.

(wake was a little over 2 from file to receiving CC permit in the mail)

I got my gun permits in 24 hours . I am in Lee Co. Just waiting on a little more cash and when the one I what { Ruger MK lll 10101 } is in stock , Ruger said it looks like mid May before they will get some out.

When you have a Pro Gun Sheriff like Tracy Carter (Lee co )

You can get permits.. Please thank him when you see him and tell him Ed says hello!

we should have a 100 sheriff’s like him..

Cumberland county isn’t too bad. Granted had to turn stuff in three times because they lost it, but last time turned in it was about 10 business days. Definitely need more pro gun sherriffs.

+1 for Sheriff Clemmons in Richmond Co. Always had them 5 days tops before I got my CCW.

When its time to Vote remember the good guys..

Lee County Sheriff’s office has been great issuing permits. I have been twice to the Sheriff’s office and both times had my permits approved within 4 hours.

I really hate to hear this. People are very concerned and want a gun, the sheriffs should assist. Time for everyone, I mean everyone to get that concealed weapons permit and buy without the permit.

+1 from me as well with Sherrif Clemmons. Applied for 2 and they were ready 2 days later

[kimberrob]

Always within 3 days with Sheriff Clemmons here

Myself and the better half just renewed our CCW in Montgomery Co., back in less than two weeks, the kicker is, we got drive through service at pick-up, didn’t have to get outta the truck. Nancy Herron is great and deserves a pay raise! Wonderful Dept. to work with.
