Do you know the
law?
Watch
out, that buyer for your gun just may be an undercover agent.
Know and follow the laws regarding private transfer of firearms. Don’t give
the anti-gun media something to talk about on the news tonight.
GRNC wants to help inform you of the current NC law pertaining to this very
subject. All information provided is available in its complete form at the web
site http://www.jus.state.nc.us/NCJA/guns.htm
 | Question: If I buy a
handgun from an individual whom I have known for a number of years and who does
not have a criminal record do I still need a permit?
 | Answer: Yes. General Statute 14-402 does not make any exception for
the receipt or purchase of a handgun from a private individual as opposed to a
firearms dealer. Therefore, a permit is necessary before the transfer of any
handgun.
Under North Carolina law, it is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation
to sell, give away, transfer, purchase, or receive, at any place in the State
any pistol unless the purchaser or receiver has first obtained a license or
permit to receive such a pistol by the Sheriff of the county where the purchaser
or receiver resides. This requirement to obtain a permit prior to the transfer
of a pistol applies not only to a commercial transaction, typically at a
sporting goods store, but also between private individuals or companies
throughout North Carolina. |

| Question: What if I have a Conceal Carry Permit, can I use that to
buy or receive a handgun?
| Answer: Yes. A valid North Carolina
Concealed Handgun Permit may be used as an alternative to a NICS check for
the purchase of a handgun thanks to H817 of the 2003-2004 Legislative
session. Multiple long guns may be purchased using your Conceal Carry Permit
if they are purchased in a single transaction. |
