In Most NC counties, you are required to go online with your local sheriffs department and fill out some paperwork, and make an appointment online to come in to their office. In other counties you must call the local county sheriff to get their process. Once you have an appointment, you must take the certificate of completion to the the Sheriff’s Office in the county that you live in. Bring your ID and the original training certificate from our class. They will have you fill out a permit application and give them your original certificate. They require you to be fingerprinted and pay an application fee (usually between $80-$100). They will run a background check and verify your qualifications for applying for the permit, under the criteria according to N.C.G.S. 14-415.12. They will make a determination (at the sheriff's discretion) on whether to issue you a permit. The entire process with the sheriff's office takes generally up to 30-90 days to complete from start to finish. For South Carolina residents your next step after you pass the training is to get fingerprinted by your local law enforcment agency and send in your SLED paperwork provided by your trainer, to apply for your "Concealed Weapon Permit" As part of the training we have included all necessary paperwork and a SLED packet for you to mail in your paperwork. We also included a checklist of exactly what needs to go in the packet. SLED will make a determination after going through the state mandated background checks and evaluating your paperwork. They will notify you directly if they require any additional information and also if your application has been approved or denied. Sled also charges an application fee for the permit process of $50, in addition to a small fingerprinting fee from your local law enforcement agency. Pursue additional training We recommend that you continue to take additional training. Additional training is a proven way to keep your shooting skills and knowledge accurate and current. We plan on offering many additional courses so check back often -- we would love to have you train with us again. In the mean time, you should continue to train when and where ever you can. Training can make the difference in a life and death situation. We recommend the NRA training page for a list of courses available in your area. 'Hone' your shooting skills "Practice makes perfect" or as we like to say... "Safe practice makes perfect practice." Go to the range. The best way to increase your comfort and skill level is to practice. Many ranges offer a monthly or semi annual membership for nominal fees; usually it's less expensive to do this than to pay an hourly or daily rate. Remember the safety rules: Always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready to use. Always know your target and what is beyond it. Get legal advice on "carrying a concealed handgun" This crucial step is often over looked from training facilities who provide CCH/CWP training. We highly recommend that you contact a local attorney and ask for advice on "carrying a concealed handgun." You may want to research it on your own via the internet and make your own informed decisions. The NRA has business alliance partners that specialize in this area, so you may want to check out the NRA sites. Here are a few links to get you started... "The Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network", "USCCA Legal Defense Foundation, Inc" While we don't personally endorse any specific course of action, however, we do recommend action! The decision is yours. Have a plan!
