Two ways to go about it. First and foremost, you have to hold a valid North Carolina drivers license, and handguns cannot be sold to out of state residents, unless they're shipped to an FFL dealer in the buyer's home state. So, to buy a handgun you would..
- Go through the pistol permit process. You go to your County Sheriff's office, and apply for pistol permits. They are $5 each, and you can purchase five initially, then five more after a period of time. Wait time for pistol permits typically takes about a week or so.
- Get a concealed carry permit. This may take up to 90 days, but is well worth it. The background check performed is so extensive that it basically substitutes your NICS background check when you go to buy a firearm, although you still fill out the Form 4473.
