I think those numbers for North Carolina, particularly the handgun sales of 2022, are flawed. The only time a NICS background check would have been performed for handguns in 2022 would have been for PPP and CHP applications, NOT at the time the purchase occurred. Any number of guns could have been purchased using a CHP, and up to 5 PPP could have been obtained with one NICS check. I’m not saying the number of handgun sales did not go up, I just think the 2022 numbers are skewed.Time to necro a thread but it's relevant:
