Background:
I did a little homework and like CO, you are not required to register anything and no permit is necessary to own anything (non-NFA) in North Carolina. You ARE however required to get a Pistol Purchase Permit from your Sheriff's office to buy a handgun (new permit for every one you buy) regardless of whether you're purchasing from an FFL or private party or even having it gifted to you.
Now, being as I'm stationed here, not "living" here, I still retain CO residency, meaning that if I can't get around the PPP thing here I can always save my gun purchases for leave and such and legally purchase in CO.
Question:
Does this permit crap apply to me, or do I fall under CO purchase laws?
