Gun safety courseIf you are thinking of getting a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit, this is the right place to start.Your permit will be issued by your local sheriff, so you will need to go to your local sheriff's office to apply for your permit.North Carolina is a Shall-Issue state, meaning that as long as you are not ineligible to obtain a firearm or concealed carry permit, the issuing authority shall grant you a permit to carry concealed. (The only things that can make you ineligible are things like being underaged, having been incarcerated for some types of crimes, etc.)
