i am 18 years old and a resident of NC. i'm about to get my grandpa to buy me a pistol with my money because i'm not 21 yet. and i'm gonna get a permit under my name from the sherrifs department because i think all you have to be is 18 to do that? is that what i'm supposed to do and how i'm supposed to go about it? or is there something i dont know? i plan to hunt with it and openly carry it around
First, lets get the story straight:
1. Your grandfather is going to buy himself a pistol from an FFL, it is for him, he is using his money, and it's not intended for anyone else.
2. At some point after that, you will get a PPP from your local sheriff
3. You will then make your grandfather an offer to buy the gun since he doesn't really like it anyway
You are both now covered. I believe all the gun docs an FFL makes you sign basically state you are not buying the gun for someone else, it is for your use.
