Despite the North Carolina legislature repealing the state’s pistol purchase permit requirements on Wednesday, a permit is still needed to carry a concealed weapon, Cumberland County Sheriff Ennis Wright said.
“The Sheriff's Office will not issue any pistol purchase permits but will continue to offer the services that it has previously provided with regard to concealed carry permits, fingerprinting and other services,” a news release said.
On Wednesday, the sheriff's Gun Permits Office began accepting walk-ins, Monday thru Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the background checks and fingerprints still needed for concealed carry.
Fingerprints required for concealed carry permits are done by appointment only. The release said system maintenance took the online portal for concealed carry permits offline, but it should resume soon.
