Purchasing a handgun

I would like to purchase my first handgun. I already know which one I am getting. My question is however, where do I go for the psych evaluation stuff? From everything I read I have to have it done but it doesn't say where.

It is my understanding that there is no Psych evaluation just a check of regional psych records that you have to pay for.

Here in Person county unless something has changed, you just go to the sheriff's office and request a pistol purchase permit application. They do the back ground check and then issue a permit in about a week. It was around $10 i think. I now have my concealed carry, so I don't need the $10 permit. Something may have changed and a psych eval may be needed now. I am not sure on that.

No psych eval for a pistol permit. Go to the Sheriff's office, apply for the permit, 5 dollars per permit up to 5 permits. It takes about 7 working days to get the permit. This is to purchase a handgun, not a concealed carry permit.

Part of the paper work to get a CCP is a paper you sign allowing them to check to see if you have any medical issues and psych issues to prevent you from getting a CCP. Going thru the process now to get mine here in Duplin County.

This a the cover page of the packet from Duplin County, items needed.

Any questions for your area go to the Sheriff's office and get it right from the source.

Now, this would really cut down on the number of legal handguns being sold.

Fees. Fees for psychological testing are $240 per hour, which includes time spent in interviews, psychological testing, test scoring and interpretation, and report writing. A psychological assessment with report typically costs in the range of $2200 to $2400.

Purchase is just the background check. CCP is where the mental eval comes in.

In Iredell county you could get 5 purchase permits at a time, $5 each. Took me about 10 minutes.
