North Carolina Gun Laws at a Glance
In North Carolina, a permit to purchase a firearm is required (not required (pistol purchase permit repealed march 2023)), there is no waiting period, firearms are not registered with the state, there is no magazine-capacity limit, and the state has no assault-weapons ban.
| Permit to purchase | Not required (pistol purchase permit repealed March 2023) |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | None |
| Firearm registration | Not required |
| Magazine limit | None |
| State "assault weapon" ban | None |
| Carry | Open carry is generally legal without a permit, but carrying a concealed handgun requires a Concealed Handgun Permit (shall-issue, age 21+, training required). A permitless carry bill (SB 50) passed the legislature in 2025 but was vetoed, and the veto override is still stalled in the NC House as of mid-2026, so a permit is still required for concealed carry. |
