Applicants for purchasing a handgun must meet the following qualifications:

1) Must be age 21 and a resident of Anson County for at least 6 months.
2) No felony conviction, no conviction involving guns or drugs.
3) No "pending" court action.
4) No history of mental illness or drug abuse.

If you meet the above qualifications, you may be eligible for a pistol permit. The linked form must be printed, completed, and presented at the Sheriff's Office along with a $5.00 application fee.

Your application will be processed and if approved, your permit will be mailed to you after a 5 working day waiting period. Should your application be denied, you will notified in writing and given the reason for denial. Incorrect or incomplete information on this application will result in your permit being denied. The $5.00 processing fee cannot be returned. Once approved, the permit allows you to purchase, exchange or trade one (1) handgun with any authorized person or dealer in North Carolina.

(The process for obtaining a concealed carry permit varies greatly. The below application explains the process.)
