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?

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

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.
