I lived in NC from 2007-2011, and had a NC CHP issued in Beaufort Co.
I moved back to MD for a job, and current live there, and so my NC permit has expired (they won't renew if you are a non-resident)
I'll be moving back to NC sometime in the summer of 2016, but in a different county (Guilford Co--Greensboro), and want to get a NC permit again. I contacted the Guilford Co Sheriff's office, and they tell me that not only do I need to apply as if it's a new permit (which I knew, because my Beaufort Co permit expired), but that my Training Certification is no longer valid and I'll have to take a new class and get a new certification.
Is this true? My NC CC training cert is from 2010. There is nothing in the law that I can find that says there is an expiration date on NC training certificates. Are they just in cahoots with the local CC trainers, or is this a legitimate claim that I MUST re-take the training course?
I fully intend on OCing most of the time anyway, but I want my NC permit, for travel to other states, and for vehicle transport, and because it makes buying new firearms SO much easier. And now that I'm into 3-gun competition, I'm traveling a lot with guns in the car to other states, and would like the assurance of having that great reciprocity of a NC permit.
Thanks, and Carry On!
