Quoted:
Someone wants to buy a handgun from me locally. They do not have a chp but have Law Enforcement Credentials (serialized picture ID) and driver's license. Is this a suitable replacement for a CHP or should I walk? I've never heard of using this as a way to buy a gun. He says it's how he buys at shops and shows. Thanks! PPP or CHP. (Edited while BA was responding) I take that back. It appears it may have changed in 2011. There was a thread on CSC about it recently. You can read it here. I remembered there was one about military personnel, and found that one as well. |

The law says that Law Enforcement Credentials are okay, but I'm not a law enforcement credentials expert. Here is what the DOJ says: The requirement for obtaining a permit before purchasing or receiving a handgun does not
apply to law enforcement officers of North Carolina, who are authorized by law to carry firearms. To use such an exemption, however, the law enforcement officer must identify him/herself to the seller of the handgun as being a law enforcement officer authorized to carry firearms, and provide any of the following: 1. A letter signed by the officer's superior officer stating the officer is authorized to carry a firearm; 2. A current photographic identification card issued by the officer's employer; 3. A current photographic identification card issued by a State agency that identifies the officer as State law enforcement; or 4. A current identification card from the officer's employer and one other form of photographic identification.

All departments are different, there is no set state standard. Mine is plastic like a drivers license.

Would make it easier on the 500 law enforcement agencies in the state. Seriously. There are 500 different law enforcement agencies in North Carolina. How is an individual supposed to confirm that a pistol purchase permit, CCW permit, or law enforcement officer identification are legitimate? |

What about calling the agency on a non-emergency number to confirm? Would they do that?

Can you confirm this?" The first and hardest step would be to FIND the non-emergency number. Remember, there are 500 agencies in North Carolina alone. If you ask the officer, he could tell you his brother's number and you would't know. People get fake ID's all the time. |

John Doughnut? Really man, we're all not coffee drinking donut eating Copopotamus's. I'm actually a big fan of AMP energy drinks and Snickers bars.

Yes it is perfectly legal. Badge/ID are what are usually photocopied. Ask the Buyer for the name of his agency and the phone number. Should take 10 seconds to confirm with Google and then call the department to verify that so and so does work there. It is public record.
