How buying a gun in Mayodan works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where North Carolina law allows.

In North Carolina, the pistol purchase permit was repealed in 2023. Handguns purchased from a licensed dealer now undergo the federal NICS background check, the same process as rifles and shotguns, with no state waiting period. Federal law requires buyers to be at least 21 for handguns and 18 for long guns. A valid government photo ID with the current address is necessary, and the dealer will complete ATF Form 4473 and conduct the background check. There is no state registration of firearms, and a concealed handgun permit is not required to purchase.

Carrying a gun in Rockingham County

Open carry is generally lawful in North Carolina for adults who may possess a firearm. However, carrying a concealed handgun requires a concealed handgun permit from the Rockingham County Sheriff. Applicants must be at least 21, complete an approved firearms safety course, and pass a background check. Senate Bill 50, which proposed permitless concealed carry, was vetoed in 2025. As of September 2026, the House had not completed an override vote, so verify its status before relying on it. Schools, posted property, and many government buildings remain off limits.
