What county?

I live in Johnston County, Moved here from CT in 2000, Got my CT permit in 1989 and still hold it as a non-resident, just wondering why NC has not gone to photo-permit like my CT.

Man, that's expensive.
Still, it's worth it. Congrats on the permit.

Prices for the certification class in my area varied from $50 to $75 to $100. The $50 class was an hour drive (one way) and required BYO gun and 150 rounds of ammo (NO .22's or Handloads) which was not a problem but there's +- $60 for factory.38 ammo and another $10 bucks for gas so that class would have cost me + $100.00 anyway, The $75 class was a two day class also BYO and I would have had to drive out there twice for 4 hrs total driving,The $100 class was 15 min from my house and the dude provided everything, gun, ammo (Suppressed Walther .22 / 50 rounds ammo) and grilled pork chops and potato salad for lunch, hard to beat that deal, there were other classes in the area also but I didn't compare them all.

I thought the application fee was a little high, but what can you do, can't shop there.

Anyway, something I've been meaning to get done since I moved down here, so now it's done.
