What is the name of your state? North Carolina
First of all, i did not know where to post this since most of it was statue 14 i am posting it here.
I am 19 years old and i am wanting to buy a handgun. I called my local sheriffs office and they told me i could get a permit. However, when i asked them if i could transport it to a range and back they said i was under age. this made no since to me. Also I have been doing some research myself and i went to the North Carolina justice website and found a firearms laws document which is at http://www.jus.state.nc.us/NCJA/ncfirearmslaws.pdf. and found this section of the document meaning that if i am at least 18 years of age i can transport and operate the weapon.
Quote:
North Carolina General Statute § 14-269.7 provides that it is a misdemeanor for any
person under the age of 18 to possess or carry a handgun.
however i also found this and i am unsure of this however in § 14‑415.12 it states to be issued a permit you must be 21 however as stated before the sheriffs office said they could issue me a permit.
Please give me your thoughts on this.
