Handgun question - The Firearms Forum

bmpeele · 03-06-2010, 04:45 PM

I'm not sure where this goes on here so feel free to move it. One of my Dads friends wants to know if it is legal to buy a handgun from one of his friends, but didn't know if He could since He dosn't have a handgun permit. But it's not coming for a dealer, it's gonna be a private purchase. Anyone have an answer to this?

From what I understand, according to NC law, a permit is still required for a private purchase of a handgun. Or a valid CHP.

Go to Section VIII "Commonly Asked Firearms Questions", Paragraph H.
