Pistol Purchase Permit
Senate Bill 41 was enacted into law after the North Carolina General Assembly overrode the Governor's veto. One of the major components of SB 41 is that it repeals the requirement to get a pistol permit in order to buy or receive a handgun in North Carolina. Therefore anyone wishing to purchase a handgun from a federally licensed firearms dealer, effective March 29, 2023, would NOT have to present a pistol purchase permit in order to do so. The firearms dealer would simply conduct an inquiry on the individual through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
