So, at 18 years of age you may legally open carry a firearm. But in order to buy that firearm you must get a Pistol Purchase Permit in order to buy privately since an 18 year old cannot go through an FFL.
The police in my counties(own multiple properties) are very confused and tend to be very ignorant towards me. And now I'm scared to O.C without being harassed again.
The other day I was denied a PPP upfront without even getting passed my age. He said "You must be 21 years of age in North Carolina to purchase a PPP." I attempted to show him the law and he just kept being stubborn. I own firearms that were passed down to me by family which doesn't require a permit, I believe. But in another county an officer approached me, and asked my age. When I said "18" he said, "you have 15 minutes to go to your car, and leave this area before I arrest you for illegal possession of a handgun. He was adamant that it's 21 years for N.C. I cited him the law, and he said "Are you a lawyer? If not, I don't believe you." Frustrated, I left and have been scared of being unlawfully arrested for ignorance.
How do I buy another gun privately and O.C without the worry of uneducated police officers harassing me? And without my Sheriff's Department denying me?
I do courtesy calls every time I go for a stroll, tell them my description and I'm open carrying legally and just out for a walk. I call both city police, and the Sheriff's yet still get harassed. Is there a way around this other then letting them arrest me and then suing them? I really don't want legal problems.
Also, can someone cite me a law in N.C that allows 18 year old O.C, because the one I use keeps getting declined.
Thank you in advance.
Quick question;
a friend was sent to a mental health center at 16 by her abusive parents and was released after they found nothing wrong with her. Can she still get firearm when she turns 18? I heard those records go away once you reach 18, I was doubting this. Thank you again.
