Can you still get a Rifle,or a pistol if you have had a 50 B / restraining order against you? The 50 B /restraining order is now off, but not sure if I canpurchase a hunting rifle... Does anyone know if the NClaw states that you can not purchase a hunting rifle after these things go off of your record?

Thanks,

The restraining order, aka Lautenberg Amendment, is Federal law and prohibits firearm possession by persons convicted of domestic violence or are under a restraining order. As far as I can tell, under federal law, you should be good to go.

I don't know about NC law as this is the VA forum and that's where I'm from :p:)

Good luck.
