Just wondering for those of you in NC, how long did it take to get your concealed carry permit? Mine is going on six weeks. When it comes to waiting, I am worse than a kid.
 
I put in for mine on June 6 2012 called sheriffs office July 8 they had it but it was dated June 30 I would call the sheriffs office and ask if it's there hope this helps
 
First off, what County do you live in? If it's Mecklenburg, it'll take all of 6 weeks if not a little longer. Plus seeing that we're "blessed" with the DNC is coming to Charlotte, :( you may not get it until after it's over.
I've had my ccw for approximately 7 or 8 years now if not longer, if I remember correctly it took about 4-6 weeks. Like Braves stated, I'd call the sheriff's office too. Good luck
 
took mine less than a month .. but that was 5 yrs ago .. .. i hear its anywhere from 30 to 90 days in Carteret County now days .. depends which county you live in .. its how fast the Dept. works there i guess ..

12 weeks in Wake County Jan-Mar 2012. I phone after 11 (they told me it would take 8) and the lady said they had no record of my application; then there was some hubbub and getting put on hold; then there was something said about it being in the SBI's hands and it wasn't the fault of the Sheriff's Office it was taking so long. It arrived two days later. I'll never know...
 
Thanks...I was a little hesitant to call as I didn't want to get shuffled to the bottom of the stack. I did call today however and was to it should be in tomorrow afternoon.
 
Mine (Johnston County) took approx 6 weeks, when I asked it was there and available. I was told it would take 6-8 weeks by the Sheriffs office. I still had 3 more weeks before I was back home to pick it up anyhow.
 
I applied on July 15, 2012 and am still waiting. They said it would take two to three months to get the forms back from the Hospital and mental inst. since there are about 30 applications per month filed here in Asheville.
 
Your CCP insturctor should have covered your question in the class. The Sheriff has (by general statue) to have your permit within 45 days or to deny it, but keep in mind that is after they have received all your paper work, you have been fingerprinted & records from mental health. The big hold-up is mental health sending any records back to the Sheriff's Office. In my county (Chowan) mental health has one person doing record check for 11 counties and it takes 4-8 weeks for the records to get back to the Sheriff's Office. The 45 day limit starts after the information is mailed to SBI in Raleigh. In my County we have permits back in 10 - 14 days from Raleigh. We call permit holders within two days for pick-up. Hope this information will help ease your mind. Sgt. Buddy Bunch / Chowan County Sheriff's Office
 
Got my permit in 2011. I live in Buncombe County and it took right at two months as I was told it would. The delay is usually getting the papers back to Sheriff from the five letters. I understand the local hospital was actually the slowest returning the info.
 
Thanks to fear fo what's going to happen regardless fo who wins in Nov, the number of applications are at an all-time high. A friend that does fingerpri ting
 
I just got mine today. In Forsyth County (Winston-Salem), they claim to take 45 days either to call to come pick up your permit or to recieve mail declining you and info to appeal. I had to call them after 8 weeks of not getting a call or mail which it was sitting for me to pick up so it's hard to determine when it was actually approved. My expiration date says 06/18/2017 but I think that is the day I initially applied since today is 08/24/2012 and the permit is good for 5 years. Good Luck in getting yours but Forsyth is 45 days processing period. I guess it's a county by county case....
 
I got the permit as promised yesterday afternoon. I guess I will stick to tradition and do the Wal-Mart walk today :-)
