N.C.G.S. (Criminal Law) § 14-415.26: Certification of qualified retired law enforcement officers
What this law says, in plain English
Retired law enforcement officers may apply for firearms certification from the Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission instead of obtaining a permit. Willful misrepresentation on the application is a Class 2 misdemeanor and results in certification revocation and ineligibility for future certification or concealed carry permits.
