Not quite, you can purchase a long gun in any State from any FFL at their place of business providing there's no State or local law prohibiting the transaction; see the BATF FAQ here. It's not restricted to bordering States, that's a State law issue. The buyer can only bring it back to their home State if it is legal to do so.netentity got it right...
The GCA restriction applies to handguns. It allows long gun purchases (usually to residents of contiguous states) with proper ID. Foe example, I can buy a long gun in NC, but not a handgun.
What part of no don't you understand? It's clearly outlined in the BATFE FAQ.Throw this into the discussion and it my be what the OP was asking. Suppose you are a NC resident and holder of a FL permit but not a NC permit. Can you use the FL permit to purchase a handgun like a NC permit allow you to do it. You are legal to purchase since you are a NC resident but have a FL permit, not a NC one.
What part of no don't you understand? It's clearly outlined in the BATFE FAQ.
No recognition and reciprocity do not apply to purchasing in any State. You have to have a NC CCW or purchase permit to purchase in NC and bypass NICS. Your Florida CWFL only allows you to carry in NC.
A CCW only does three things;
- Legalizes the holder to carry concealed in the States that recognize that particular CCW where permitted by local, State and federal law.
- NICS exemption in the State qualifies for it per BATFE for purchases in the issuing State only. I cannot use my UT CFP to bypass a NICS check in NV.
- Exemption from the Federal GFZA while in the issuing State.
A CCW does not give you handgun or class III/NFA purchasing rights in any State. You're only exempt from residency requirement of GCA of 1968 if the one of the following criteria are met;
- Long gun purchases from a FFL at their place of business.
- Active duty military in the State they are stationed.
- Persons who maintain a residence in another State.
- LEOs purchasing firearms for official purposes.
Since the state has reciprocity with Florida if you have a Florida permit can you bypass the requirement for the permit to purchase and just make your purchase just as any NC permit holder would?
Yes I understand the wond NO quite well but seems you have troubles understanding many oter words. My commet was directed at those who had answered the OP about a residency requirement assuming that he was talking about someone from NV trying to purchace a gun in NC with a FL permit. This was not what I had in my post but rather what if a NC resident had a FL permit, would they have the same puchasing rights in NC as a NC resident in NC. One line in your last post from the BATF FAQ says no but does that also apply to the NC purchasing permit that is required in NC and issued by the sheriff's department and has nothing to do with the BATF?
From the OP has nothing to do with the BATF or NICS or any federal laws.
I do not know as I am not familiar with all of the NC requirements other that a permit ot purchase is required. I did accidently transpose two words in my post that may have led to multiple interpretations of my comments but I have only one post that came close to answering the OP's question and he was unsure but made a good suggestion.
