22. Waiting periods
Mon Jun 22, 2020, 08:05 AM
Jun 2020

In NC, we have a quasi built in waiting period when it comes to handguns.

Each county issues pistol purchase permits.
$5 each.
Maximum of 5 per transaction.
5 business days to process and you must pick them up in person.

This is waived of you have a CCP.

I wouldn't advocate any additional waiting period than that.

As to gun sales: I was in a Bass Pro (in NC) over the weekend. They were entirely picked clean of firearms with the exception of some of the high dollar guns ($2k+).

Ditto for ammo.
