A lot of other states used to have pistol purchase permits. I believe only a few states still use them, NC being one of them. Iowa has a pistol permit that's valid for one year (you are not required to buy one for every pistol). If you have a concealed carry permit, you do not need a pistol purchase permit.

I lived in several counties in NC. In Wake county, it takes about a week for them to process the permit. Plus, you have to get in all the downtown traffic to get the permit. In Craven county, the permit was ready the same day, within minutes.

I know $5 seems like pocket change, but for smaller counties, every bit helps.

The bad thing about these permits is that every county has their own requirements. Robeson county requires three LEO signatures on the permit. I'm sure this is done to prevent "the wrong kind of people" from buying guns. If you know anything about that county, you'll know that they have the largest Native American population in the state.
