I have a question in reference to one of the requirements for the permit. It states the you must be a resident of that county for at least 30days. How is that 30 measured? I moved here in November but did not get my drivers license till yesterday. (That was the earliest available appointment) Side note: I now officially live in a different state and county then I was born in for the first time in my life.
 
Obviously, you should print off your build thread that clearly documents you moved down on November 24th.

So I filled out all the required things and dropped it off. I must say in comparison to NJ this is soooooooo much easier. Hell the fact that a real person was there to take my stuff and check and its only going to take 14days... My purchase permit from New Jersey still hasn't come back (filed in August) I think I'm gonna like it here
 
Another NC firearms question.

What is the law concerning AR style pistols?

I have a stripped lower (never built or registered as a rifle or pistol) and I was considering building it into a 300blk out pistol.
 
Residency isn’t defined by when you get a drivers license. If you have moved and you have a deed or rent and a utility bill, that defines residency.

Most counties are all online now. Surprised you don’t have that option. Pitt County has the online option. 3 minutes on my phone, then a text telling me when it’s ready and I show ID to pick up at the sheriff’s office. :)


but, don’t hold your breath on the 14 days. In the past the 14 days has been 5-7 days and more recently (December), it was nearly 90 days. So, expect it to be longer.

As I understand it...

If it is a stripped lower, you can build either a rifle or a pistol. (you want to build it as a "pistol" first)

If bought/build it as a pistol, you can make it a rifle. and then turn it back into a pistol. But if you buy/build it as a rifle you can't convert to a pistol. Makes a lot of sense lol


Can I lawfully make a rifle into a pistol without registering that firearm? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

No. A firearm that was originally a rifle would be classified as a “weapon made from a rifle” if it has either a barrel less than 16 inches in length or an overall length of less than 26 inches. If an individual wishes to make an NFA firearm, they must first submit ATF Form 1 (Application to...

Assuming that the firearm was originally a pistol, the resulting firearm, with an attached shoulder stock, is not an NFA firearm if it has a barrel of 16 inches or more in length. Pursuant to ATF Ruling 2011-4, such rifle may later be unassembled and again configured as a pistol. Such...

If you like that, you should have moved to SC.
 
If you mean carrying an AR pistol in the car, ATF is probably about to mess it up but currently you can carry an AR pistol in a veh loaded, concealed and ready to rock just like any handgun.
