I don't know if this is on topic, but I am new to pistols and have newly moved to NC. I am looking to target-shoot rimfire pistol with my son in my rural Orange County backyard, and wondered if anyone has any thoughts on how I could do that.
Background:
If I understand correctly pistols are not available for purchase out of state - they would need to be transacted under the NC laws no matter where purchased. Looking into the NC regs it looks like the county calls the shots. Orange County has a 1-year residence requirement for pistol purchase permit but does not seem to have a time-limit for concealed handgun permit. The CHP appears to be enough by itself to let one buy a pistol.
I have no need to actually carry of my property- all I want is to get a .22 pistol to target shoot in my backyard with my son (he gets to use the Ruger 10/22 rifle - only fair) . I am OK taking a course and would have no problems with any kind of background check and I could justify the request to carryif a justification is needed. The only issue is that if possible I'd like to do this sooner rather than wait a year.
I'm new to pistol shooting but took rifle in college. I played with a Browning Buckmark at Davi's range in Durham - am thinking of getting a Sig Trailside when I can.
Questions:
Are my assumptions correct?
What's involved in passing the concealed carry course? (and of course, I don't have a pistol to practice with or bring to the class....would that complicate things?)
Is there any other approach, other than waiting for next summer?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Best,
Joel
