I got mine at the beginning of the year, and I was in there less than half an hour. It probably takes a little longer than this normally, but the gun shop i was buying from knew somebody down there, so I had it less than an hour later. I can't really imagine it taking much more than a few days though. There aren't that many people buying guns to warrant a 30 day wait.
You might be surprised at how many are buying guns.
I'm sure there's a lot, but I just can't see there being enough for a 30 day wait lol. Especially when the actual process takes like 30 minutes. I'm sure they get backed up at times and it might take a week or even two, and Mecklenburgh county isn't exactly small, but I don't think there's quite THAT many lol. But hey, I could be wrong. There could be a line down at the Sheriffs office backed out the door everyday now.
Had (shooting club) a meeting a few months ago with the sheriff of Cumberland County. He said last year they issued well over 8000 permits to purchase. That over 150 a week. In addition to that you have to add in the conceal carry permits that are issued. The same department also does background checks for employment. Smaller counties probably don't have that kind of work load. So a 5 day turn around here isn't too bad.
