Permit to Purchase a Handgun

If you have been a resident of Haywood County for at least six months and have no felony convictions you can apply for a permit to purchase a handgun. The cost is $5.00 and you must bring a valid North Carolina driver’s license or a North Carolina ID.

No permit is required to purchase a handgun if you have a valid NC concealed weapon permit.

Note: A permit to purchase a handgun is not a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
