NC Firearms Laws

NORTH CAROLINA FIREARMS LAWS

Publication Website: http://www.ncdoj.com

Any person seeking to purchase or transfer a handgun in North Carolina is no longer required to apply to the sheriff for a pistol purchase permit. All pistol purchase permitting laws in North Carolina have been eliminated by the enactment of Senate Bill 41, Guarantee 2nd Amend Freedom and Protections.

This bill however does not preclude the requirement of a NICS check prior to taking possession of the firearm.

To purchase a handgun from a federally licensed firearms dealer, an individual must be twenty-one (21) years of age or older. The age at which a person can purchase a shotgun or rifle from a licensed dealer is eighteen (18).

A valid North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit (CCW) may be used as an alternative to a NICS check for the purchase of firearms.

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 is twenty-one (21) years of age or older, possesses a valid North Carolina issued concealed carry permit or has favorably passed a NICS check.

The product must be returned within 10 business days of the issuance of the RMA.
