| I am considering purchasing an AR-15. I live in NC, and there are no State Regs. concerning this weapon (I checked). I cannot get a straight answer from the ATF however. Does anyone know what is required to obtain a Post-ban AR-15? Permits? Licenses? Thanks! |

If there are no state regs, then go to a gun dealer and hand over the money (or buy one mail order and have a gun dealer do the transfer). Nothing more than waiting for the NICS check should be required. Unless you're 12 years old or clinically insane or something - then you may have a problem. [:D] |
| I recently moved from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia to North Carolina. Don't worry, North Carolina is a free state. You just need to go to your local gun dealer, pick out what you want, do a background check and pay them. There is no registration and no permit required to buy a long gun in NC. I know this because the first thing I did when I arrived there from the communist state I was living in was to buy an Armalite and a Bushmaster. Enjoy your freedom while you have it and exercise your constitutional right. |

As a former NC resident (I moved to the FREE-er state of SC) I concur with the other two posters. Go to your dealer, pick one out, fill out Form 4473, wait three minutes, pony up the cash for the rifle, buy a case of ammo, and blast away. And let me also give a big thumbs up for doing your homework and checking out the laws and regs. ATF is a useless organization when it comes to explianing laws. Their only function is to jail people for the laws they refuse to explain to the general public. |

Class III is pretty irrelevant to most anyone who has less $$$ than sense. [;)] True, but in mt county at least its just a formality, takes me under 10 minutes to be out the door with 5 permits, and they let me bypass the NICS check for as long as they are valid (2 years) and are a big help a gun shows where you may get delayed otherwise. And suppressors are not that expensive! |
