| hi folks, i'm a bit unclear about the notary requirement for person to person sales in NC. Is that really necessary? Isn't a BOS and a copy of their concealed license or purchase permit good enough? |

B. North Carolina Requirements
North Carolina’s pistol permitting and concealed carry permit laws qualify as an alternative to the requirements of the Brady Law. Therefore, when a person desires to purchase a handgun from a federally licensed dealer, the person needs to comply solely with North Carolina’s pistol permit laws, and present a valid permit to purchase a handgun or valid North Carolina issued concealed carry permit. (Please note: Even if a NICS inquiry by a federally licensed dealer was done in this circumstance, it does not do away with the necessity for a pistol purchase permit.) As always, any other transfer between private individuals is also governed by North Carolina’s pistol permit laws. 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, or the purchaser or receiver possesses a valid North Carolina issued concealed carry permit. 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. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14- 402(a). No Notary required. CD |
