Guilford County issued the following announcement on Mar. 26.
The following information is provided in response to questions received today by the Sheriff’s Office from some Guilford County residents concerning applications for Concealed Carry Handgun (“CCH”) permits.
During the temporary period that the processing of new CCH permits is suspended (see the prior press release below), the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office will continue to process all RENEWAL applications for CCH permits that are presently due to expire. County residents can complete the renewal application on-line, print the completed application, sign it before a Notary Public, and mail the signed and notarized application to the Sheriff’s Office. If the renewal is approved, the Sheriff’s Office will mail the renewed permit to the applicant.
For those County residents who have already submitted a new CCH Permit application and who have already been fingerprinted at the Sheriff’s Office, the processing of their CCH Permit applications will be completed as soon as possible.
For those County residents who have already submitted CCH Permit applications, but who have not yet been fingerprinted, the Sheriff’s Office will continue processing those applications, but the completion of the application will be delayed until sometime after the fingerprinting process resumes.
Those who have not yet submitted a CCH Permit application, will be unable to do so during the period of time that this temporary suspension remains in effect. Those individuals may, however, still submit an application for a Pistol Purchase Permit to the Sheriff’s Office. Those individuals may also purchase a long gun (rifle or shotgun) at retailers who will conduct in-store background checks using the use the National Instant Background Check System (“NICS”).
