While applicants wait up to 45 days just to submit applications, sheriffs want more money from you!
According to documents released by the NC Department of Justice, over the last three months Mecklenburg County has approved just 573 Concealed Handgun Permits. While statewide, concealed handgun permits have increased a staggering 9.36% in just the last three months, Mecklenburg County's increase of just 573 is only a 2.83% increase!
How does Sheriff Daniel "Chipp" Bailey do this? He demands that all concealed handgun permit applicants to schedule an appointment with him 30-45 days in advance. There is no legal justification for this process, and we can see the results in black and white. In similarly sized Wake County, which does not require citizens to schedule an interview, CHPs have increased by 2,626 permits (10.74%). By comparison, Mecklenburg County's abysmal 573 (2.83%) is nothing short of outrageous. Mecklenburg County is bigger, yet Wake County issued more than 4-1/2 times as many new CHPs in the same time period!
Meanwhile, we are seeing an increasing number of rogue sheriffs who ignore what was designed to be a uniform "shall issue" permit law by imposing extra requirements on applicants. Given recent attacks on your rights by the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association, GRNC will now begin delivering "heat" to rogue sheriffs, starting with Sheriff "Chipp" Bailey.
Stop SB 368 to double purchase permit fees
Meanwhile, Senate Bill 368 ("County/ Sheriff Fee Changes") is quietly moving through the legislature and now sits in the House Rules Committee. SB 368, if you’ll remember, doubles the fees for pistol purchase permits! As the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association loudly protests the repeal of the Jim Crow era purchase permit law, you can begin to understand why. On top of retaining control over which citizens can purchase a handgun in North Carolina, sheriffs around the state will soon begin to collect double the fees for each permit they issue.
GRNC opposes SB 368 and its attempt to extort even more money from North Carolina gun owners. Having worked hard to repeal the state’s purchase permit law through HB 937, we will fight to oppose SB 368 in the same manner. It’s important that you also help us and contact the House Rules Committee now to voice your displeasure over SB 368.
