He specifically mentioned NC.
My personal experience in the county I live in was nearly identical to yours. My sheriff came out of his office to shake my hand and thank me for coming in to get a permit. Turn around was about a week. To be honest, I never ran in to any trouble getting my LTC in MA either. I was fortunate enough to live and work in green towns, even had a great place to shoot outdoors on private property.
Point of my post was to suggest that maybe we do have a dog in this fight as the situation here is not that much different than MA. Particularly in NC.
There are people in Raleigh, Asheville, Charlotte, and Fayetteville working hard to change the way the state swings. My understanding is that in some counties in NC that translates to making obtaining a CCW as difficult as possible, similar to how certain towns in MA do the same. As far as you're concerned, take a look at the counties up and down the shore from you and see how they swung in the 2016 presidential election. The cities and the leftist ideologies they breed are spreading. If we ignore it we'll end up just like MA before long.
We're still arguing about the last governor's election. Abrams insists it was "stolen" from her. For me, in Georgia, it's the cities like Atlanta and even Savannah where anti-gun people are working to change things. So, yeah, we do have a dog in this fight.
Time to write another check to GOAL and/or Comm2A.
