A friend startled me recently....
By telling me her husband just bought a (surplus) handgun, from his brother, in North Carolina, while visiting. I was having a "he can't do that" moment. Now, I have no thought that he might be a prohibited person but doesn't NC require the permission of the county sheriff for handguns? He crossed state lines, visited for a few days, made the purchase, then went home, back across state lines. Now, there was no intent to avoid the law. I truly believe he was ignorant of it. It was a private sale between family members. He will never get caught nor do I believe he did anything wrong but I DO believe he probably did something illegal. Am I way off on my read on this? Oh, and go easy on those "weekend warriors", I teach on weekends! However, thanks to this forum, I stay up on the Virginia carry rules.
