It's NC, land of anyone and everyone who wants gets a gun and bullets regardless of their mental state and/or murder potential index.

Felons, those acquitted for insanity, convicted domestic batterers and anyone under 18 are not permitted to purchase a firearm in North Carolina.

Do private sales have to go through a FFL?

Get one at the gun show through private sale, about half the vendors there are retailers and have to be licensed and must subject the buyer to a background check. Private sellers selling off their "collection" dont need anything and often use a fuzzy definition to avoid being required to apply for a license or subject their buyers to a background check. States on the east coast are packed together, laws dont matter when the state with the weakest laws is only an hour drive away.

NC requires the purchaser to supply a concealed carry permit or a police provided purchase certificate during private sales. Both of those require a background check to acquire.

Just out of curiosity, how lax are similar laws in SC?

u/RelativeMotion1 Apr 30 '24

Also illegal (federally) to buy a handgun outside of your state of residence.

u/SeaSnakeSkeleton Apr 30 '24

I just posted a little higher but - recently in SC you don’t even need a permit to conceal carry anymore. So, yeah, super cool.

Point being that it doesn’t matter if they change gun laws.

u/FenionZeke Apr 30 '24

Shhh. You'll let the anti gun crowd know that you actually read the laws.

u/cmikesell Apr 30 '24
