I'm 18 years old. Today I went to my Sherrifs office to get a pistol perchase permit to buy a hundgun from a private party(my father). The desk clerk was willing and handed me the form to fill out, I filled out the first couple of lines before Joe Blow said "you cannont buy a handgun or get the permit because you aren't 21". It is my understanding that at 18, I can perchase, or be gifted a handgun form a private part. Of course, I can't go into a store and purchase from an FFL. I told him this but he wasn't having it. The helpful desk clerk said I'll go check, left for a minute and asked someone came back, said I was right and to keep filling out the form. The guy left for a minute, came back and said that his source said I'm wrong. I respectfully made it know that we were in disagreement, and he told me to come back Thursday. In my other thread, 'under 21 carry', a couple of people said that they open carry and have gotten PPP. I need some something from the GA that references this so I can prove my case. Thanks.


EDIT: I need Statutes, not Statues

The bad thing about these pistol purchase permits is that each county has different rules for how long it takes and the requirements to get one. The application for permits in Wake county is completely different from the Pitt county application. Some counties will give you one within a few minutes, while others make you wait a week. I do recall one member saying that his sheriff gave him a permit under 21, but the sheriff also wanted the make and model of the gun to make sure he was only using it for a private sale. When I was under 21, I "borrowed" a few of my dads handguns.

Why don't we just make it easier for everyone and abolish this jim crow law pistol purchase permit nonsense. Obviously someone still thinks they are a good idea (probably the county that makes $5/permit)

Round 2:

I went in to the Sheriff's office today to try again. I came fully prepared, had the statues in my hands, the application form filled out with three character refrences(one is a judge), ready to talk to the Sheriff himself. Sure enough, the guy that held me up last time was at the desk. He said you have to be 21 and showed me a paper that said "How old must you be to purchase a firearm in NC" under that it said 21 for a hand gun, 18 for rifle and shotgun. Mind you, this paper refrenced no statutes and was in Times New Roman font. Basically, it looked like something he typed up himself after I left Tuesday. I showed him my statutes, refrenced and printed directly from the NCGA, stating that for a pistol purchase permit to be issued the applicant must pass a background check and be of good moral standing. The statute makes no mention of age. I also showed him the one stating that I must have a permit to recieve a handgun, and even the one showing it is legal for an 18yo to possess a handgun.

My blood started to boil a bit when he refused to even consider my standpoint and continued to take his piece of paper as gospel. It was obvious I would make no headway with self-proclaimed supreme court judge. He told me if I wanted to plead my case infront of the Sheriff I could when the sheriff returns Monday. I replied with a big smile and 'Nothing would make me happier' then left.

Thats the problem with these pistol purchase permits and CHPs in NC. There are 100 different counties, each with 100 different requirements and wait times. I wish we could adopt a statewide system similar to how SC does it. No PPP required and CHPs are done through the state law enforcement division. This prevents different requirements and different prices.

i wonder. if you could get the judge that is one of your references to write a letter stating his opinion that you are not prohibited by law from reviving a purchase permit.... ie you could show the sheriff that a Judge disagrees with his departments interpretation of the law

i know you have the reference but a letter specificity stating that denying you a permit solely b/c your 18 may be a violation of NC's shall issue policy

Laws

Here is all the laws I could find the links are below each one. Print all these out from the links and take with with you circle everything you see about a handgun or mark it somehow so you can find each thing. And go monday and come back with your PPP. Because I have found nothing that says you cant obtain it. All i found was you cant get a concealed weapons permit or buy a gun from an FFLD.


Some are federal laws some are state the federal is mostly too the top.

Retail distributors of tobacco products shall prominently display near the point of sale a sign in letters at least five‑eighths of an inch high which states the following:



N.C. LAW STRICTLY PROHIBITS



THE PURCHASE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS



BY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18.



PROOF OF AGE REQUIRED.



Failure to post the required sign shall be an infraction punishable by a fine of twenty‑five dollars ($25.00) for the first offense and seventy‑five dollars ($75.00) for each succeeding offense.

A person engaged in the sale of tobacco products shall demand proof of age from a prospective purchaser if the person has reasonable grounds to believe that the prospective purchaser is under 18 years of age. Failure to demand proof of age as required by this subsection is a Class 2 misdemeanor if in fact the prospective purchaser is under 18 years of age. Retail distributors of tobacco products shall train their sales employees in the requirements of this law. Proof of any of the following shall be a defense to any action brought under this subsection:

(1) The defendant demanded, was shown, and reasonably relied upon proof of age in the case of a retailer, or any other documentary or written evidence of age in the case of a nonretailer.

(2) The defendant relied on the electronic system established and operated by the Division of Motor Vehicles pursuant to G.S. 20‑37.02.

(3) The defendant relied on a biometric identification system that demonstrated (i) the purchaser's age to be at least the required age for the purchase and (ii) the purchaser had previously registered with the seller or seller's agent a drivers license, a special identification card issued under G.S. 20‑377.7, a military identification card, or a passport showing the purchaser's date of birth and bearing a physical description of the person named on the card.

(b1) Vending machines. – Tobacco products shall not be distributed in vending machines; provided, however, vending machines distributing tobacco products are permitted (i) in any establishment which is open only to persons 18 years of age and older; or (ii) in any establishment if the vending machine is under the continuous control of the owner or licensee of the premises or an employee thereof and can be operated only upon activation by the owner, licensee, or employee prior to each purchase and the vending machine is not accessible to the public when the establishment is closed. The owner, licensee, or employee shall demand proof of age from a prospective purchaser if the person has reasonable grounds to believe that the prospective purchaser is under 18 years of age. Failure to demand proof of age as required by this subsection is a Class 2 misdemeanor if in fact the prospective purchaser is under 18 years of age. Proof that the defendant demanded, was shown, and reasonably relied upon proof of age shall be a defense to any action brought under this subsection. Vending machines distributing tobacco products in establishments not meeting the above conditions shall be removed prior to December 1, 1997. Any person distributing tobacco products through vending machines in violation of this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

(c) Purchase by persons under the age of 18 years. – If any person under the age of 18 years purchases or accepts receipt, or attempts to purchase or accept receipt, of tobacco products or cigarette wrapping papers, or presents or offers to any person any purported proof of age which is false, fraudulent, or not actually his or her own, for the purpose of purchasing or receiving any tobacco product or cigarette wrapping papers, the person shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

(d) Send or assist person less than 18 years to purchase or receive tobacco product. – If any person shall send a person less than 18 years of age to purchase, acquire, receive, or attempt to purchase, acquire, or receive tobacco products or cigarette wrapping papers, or if any person shall aid or abet a person who is less than 18 years of age in purchasing, acquiring, or receiving or attempting to purchase, acquire, or receive tobacco products or cigarette wrapping papers, the person shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor; provided, however, persons under the age of 18 may be enlisted by police or local sheriffs' departments to test compliance if the testing is under the direct supervision of that law enforcement department and written parental consent is provided; provided further, that the Department of Health and Human Services shall have the authority, pursuant to a written plan prepared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to use persons under 18 years of age in annual, random, unannounced inspections, provided that prior written parental consent is given for the involvement of these persons and that the inspections are conducted for the sole purpose of preparing a scientifically and methodologically valid statistical study of the extent of success the State has achieved in reducing the availability of tobacco products to persons under the age of 18, and preparing any report to the extent required by section 1926 of the federal Public Health Service Act (42 USC § 300x‑26).

(e) Statewide uniformity. – It is the intent of the General Assembly to prescribe this uniform system for the regulation of tobacco products to ensure the eligibility for and receipt of any federal funds or grants that the State now receives or may receive relating to the provisions of G.S. 14‑313. To ensure uniformity, no political subdivisions, boards, or agencies of the State nor any county, city, municipality, municipal corporation, town, township, village, nor any department or agency thereof, may enact ordinances, rules or regulations concerning the sale, distribution, display or promotion of tobacco products or cigarette wrapping papers on or after September 1, 1995. This subsection does not apply to the regulation of vending machines, nor does it prohibit the Secretary of Revenue from adopting rules with respect to the administration of the tobacco products taxes levied under Article 2A of Chapter 105 of the General Statutes.

(f) Deferred prosecution. – Notwithstanding G.S. 15A‑1341(a1), any person charged with a misdemeanor under this section shall be qualified for deferred prosecution pursuant to Article 82 of Chapter 15A of the General Statutes provided the defendant has not previously been placed on probation for a violation of this section and so states under oath.

I understand. Good luck to you. It's a damned shame that citizens have to educate "law enforcement" people on what the law is.

Round 3:

I'm livid right now. Today I made my third trip to the Sheriff's office to get a PPP to receive a handgun from my father. I walked up to the desk and was happy to see the clerk that is on my side working the desk, unfortunately, the other guy was in back there also, before I could even get 'Good Afternoon' out of my mouth, the guy said 'one minute' and disappeared to find the Sheriff.

As I waited, (probably 4-5 minutes) the desk clerk and I made small talk, she asked how long I'd lived in the county, if I was in school, ect. Nice lady for sure. Anyway, the Sheriff comes out into the lobby and asks in a rather rude tone 'Are you Mr. X' I said yes, shook his hand, introduced myself, asked how he was doing, being as nice as anyone could possibly be. He kept the short, you're wasting my time tone and said 'Listen, I'm not going to grant you the permit, plain and simple, even if you have the law stating I'm able to, I will not give one to you because you're 18." He didn't even invite me to speak in his office, I asked If I could plead my case, give him my reasons for needing the permit, prove I was of good moral character, and pass a background check. He wasn't having it. He said I'll look but it’s still not gonna happen, then he glanced at my evidence for maybe a total of 45 seconds. He read the part about how I can appeal to the Chief Judge of the district court and told me to take it up with him. I left without getting his signature stating that he denied my application:banghead:

I sure hope he isn't too busy tomorrow denying citizens their rights because per his application he has to do a background check, then deny my application and notify me within 7 days in writing his reason for denial. Can't wait to start the appeal process.

It is entirely beyond me why anyone in this country would have a default positive view of law enforcement, short of being ignorant or a r'tard. I'm sorry you're getting the shaft, mate. Sounds like you've got a campaign to replace the Sheriff in your future.

Why don't we just drop the facade and spell it "Sharif"? Oh, right, because racist a-holes would think it's a slur against Muslims and adopt it in a hurry. Nevermind, carry on.

I have a default positive of LE. I find your post offensive and uninformed. I'm not ignorant nor a retard.

I served 21 years in the Armed Forces and believe in the Rule of Law. Your proclamation of anarchy is insulting at it's lowest form, you then throw out the racist card. Immature at best....and you call yourself a responsible gun owner?

What we'd LIKE TO SEE is a more dedicated educated LE. THAT'S what this forum is about.

Stay in Dallas, please.

right here
Maybe you and your father should exchange Christmas gifts. You can give him an envelope with cash in it, and he can give you a gift in return.

FYI you can legally 'posess' at 18 without owning.

That's not to say you should accept what the Sheriff is doing, I'm all for proving him wrong.

I'm aware that I can posess at 18. I need the permit to receive the handgun as a gift. I want it to be mine so I can report it stolen, answer yes if ever asked by leo if it is mine, ect. I'm going to start the appeal process tomorrow, my voice will be heard.
