Got my permit, doesn't expire til 2028 but went to jail for a night. Tempted to go to the store an test out my permit but the charges were two misdemeanors and ended up being dropped because I have no priors/ too clean of a record. I'm good to go on buying whatever right? Just wanna be sure before I have someone ring me up!

Curious to hear any experiences with NC residents having ever had any contact with law enforcement in NC while carrying concealed with an out of state permit. NC General Statute Chapter 14-415.24(a) for the curious.

I am of the belief that cops aren’t experts on the law. Has anyone had a positive or negative experience on a traffic stop in this situation? Deciding whether or not it’s worth getting an NC permit in Meck county when I have a valid TX permit with my NC address on it.

Got banned on the forum cause I had plans to meat a guy and buy a rifle but ended up shooting a deer that morning and losing track of time and had absolutely no idea about the rules I made the account almost a year ago and just never went on after that was loving the forum the past couple weeks and was about to become a supporting member is there anyone I can talk to or I’m I just out? Tried to say sorry and make sure it wouldn’t happen again but oh well

About a year and a half ago I moved from Onslow county to johnston county, I went to the Onslow county sheriffs office and did the change of address and got the little piece of paper that im supposed to carry with the original permit i was issued there. I did not visit or call Johnston county though to inform them as I was told it wasn’t necessary and all i had to do was to do the change of address in onslow, get the paper, then i was good till I renewed my permit in johnston county when it expires. I was just sitting here thinking to myself that the entire process seemed way to easy and im wondering if i was misled and due infact need to contact johnston county? I know its been a year and a half but im not trying to get in trouble.

Just moved to NC and have a busy few months ahead, so I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get my concealed carry permit, but I'd like to get some range time in.

I understand the laws for transporting a handgun in a vehicle (would just keep it unloaded, locked, in the trunk), but if I street park off my property, is it technically illegal for me to carry it off my property to my car, locked in a bag? Would rather not open carry for optics.

Thank you!

So I want to get a 556 to 22lr conversion kit for an AR. And I wasn’t sure if that kit can be sent to my address or to a gun store or FFL dealer.

Hello Everyone!

I am looking for some help and guidance for my father-in-law who moved out of NY to NC 4 years ago. He held a permit to own and carry a handgun in NY and had a registered handgun with the state. He recently received a letter from the police department from his old NY county informing him that he needs to surrender his permit and transfer his handgun to his new residence and that he needs to provide proof of the transfer. The surrender of the permit is pretty straight forward. However, since NC doesn't require you to register your handgun, I am not sure how you would do a transfer. Has anyone dealt with this issue and have and advise? Thank you!

Bought a rifle on the 21st of last month thinking about getting a pistol Friday the 18th. I know of the law of buying more than one pistol within five days the seller has to send in a form but is there anything about buying multiple firearms within 30 days?

I will be getting a pistol in Georgia next week as part of a “prize package” of sorts from a work event.

Will they be able to release the pistol to me or will I have to ship it to an FFL?

I live in a state where constitutional carry(open or concealed without permit is legal. I am currently getting the concealed for reciprocity, but not in time for a visit to rural North Carolina. In North Carolina open carry is legal, but concealed is not without a permit.

Can I carry with the grip of my Glock easily visible, but still in my IWB holster?

Through my research there seems to be some gray area about this and even if technically legal is it not worth the risk?

I’m in WNC, I’ve looked into the National Forrest’s rules on open carrying a rifle and it seems to be allowed. Does anyone here have experience doing this?

I’ve got an itch to get out and run around with my gear but also dont want to scare anyone or be questioned by a warden about whether or not I’m hunting out of season. Thanks!

I’m going to be relocating from upstate NY to the Wilmington area in about 6 months or so ( I will not be bringing any NY politics with me, I’m trying to get away from this commie state) I know NC is obviously more permissive than where I am now, but is Wilmington generally friendly to guns? I have heard a lot of northerners have moved down there and they have tried to basically turn it into south New York.

So my pistol was wrongfully confiscated by the Winston Salem Forsyth county police for carry concealed without permit but now court is over the case got dismissed I was told by my court appointed attorney he was going to call me the following week so I could get my gun back so far it's going on the 3rd week no call and i have even tried calling hime 2 or 3 times but hes alwys buys or some bullshit like that and i have ro leave a message and still he does not contact me what do I do to get my gun back?

What is the best way to rehome one of my range toys? I used to use Iwanna but they have shutdown.

Anyone know of any ranges that allow muzzleloaders? I got one as a gift and did the 12ga primer conversion kit and all, just need to sight it in. I'm in RDU area.

Has anyone tried to request written permission from the USACE to carry on state recreation areas around lakes?

Looking for the best sighting and zeroing services in the Charlotte area. I have a trip coming up and have decided to switch guns and optics at the last minute. I need a turnkey service due to the fact that I am also out of town for work this week.

Good afternoon... any PHA Range members here?

I'm looking at possible joining and would love to (a) get some feedback on your experience there and (b) know how I can go about visiting -- it's 65 minutes from me -- before becoming a member.

Can I go as a/your guest?

Is there any way to check the status of my application? It's been over 2 months now.

This is for a renewal...I know Meck intentionally slow walks them but the weird thing is when I originally got it 5 years ago it came back in maybe 3-4 weeks.

Near Winston Salem. Wanting to build got a stripped lower already

I've just got my first suppressor, and would like to get my hunting rifle barrel threaded so I can hunt with a suppressor this season.

I've checked a few local gunsmith's but they've said that's not really something they do.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Leave your opinions below.

Ranges, gun stores, gun shows, FFL’s, gunsmiths, etc.

Based on my experience the best customer service I’ve experienced is PSA in Denver, Blackstone, WDTactical and the Range at Lake Norman. The gunsmith at Hyatt is a super nice guy.

The worst customer service by far has to be Eagle Gun in Concord but the employees/vendors at C&W Concord are also rude.

Does anyone have recommendations for a gunsmith or laser engraving business - close to Raleigh - for form 1 NFA items?

Hey y’all, I’m new to pistol shooting (and pretty rusty on rifle). I would like some opinions on pistol and rifle courses to take and instructors around the Triangle area. Also any tips for a new pistol shooter (grew up with some small caliber long guns) would be nice. Thank you.

How do you clean your firearm without slathering CLP on the glass optics. I am used to spraying the firearm with CLP so to loosen up the carbon. But that practice was when I was in the service - I would like to treat my personal weapon differently. TIA
