FCSO provides NC’s first durable concealed carry weapons permit
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) is the first sheriff’s office in North Carolina to introduce a durable concealed carry weapons (CCW) permit card for new applicants.
When new applicants receive the CCW, FCSO will supplement the paper permit distributed by North Carolina with a durable permit card. The permit card is identical to the paper one provided by the State. This permit card is made from a plastic, laminated material. This does not affect the normal CCW process for applicants. On average, FCSO distributes approximately 6,000 CCW permits yearly.
“We continue to bring 21st century technology and convenience to our residents. We are the drum major for change for the greatest community in the world,” said Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough, Jr.
To apply for a CCW, individuals can come to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office at 301 North Church St. For more information, individuals can contact our Permits Division at 336-917-7015.
Anyone with information related to criminal activity should contact the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office directly on our non-emergency number at 336-727-2112; anonymously text information, photos, and video via Text-A-Tip at 336-920-8477; or anonymously call Crimestoppers at 336-727-2800 for English or 336-728-3904 for Spanish.
