I just applied for my permit last week, and should have it within 90 days. I have not yet made a purchase, and I am doing a lot of research on what I want to look at. As it were, I'm in medical school, which is kind of a double whammy for "gun-free zones". I'm not ballsy enough or...

this guy is exactly right. Cops aren't lawyers. They may work to enforce the law, but they aren't paid or trained to know every aspect of the law. A lawyer would be the person to talk to if you wanted a definitive answer. Or look up your state's firearm laws. they are published and free...

this isn't exactly accurate. I'm in my second year of medical school, and we had some pathology lectures, one of which was on gunshot wounds. Inside of 5-10 yards, birdshot (or any size shot) acts more like like a slug. That is, it stays farely close together rather than spreading. Of course...

First, I live in Chapel Hill, NC, and will be traveling to Asheville, NC. I don't yet own a handgun (I'll wait till I've got the money and my CCW), but I do regularly shoot skeet with my 20ga remington model 48. I understand that if I were transporting a handgun, it would have to transported...

forgive my ignorance, but what is a "straw purchase"?

I am a student at UNC Chapel Hill for medical school. Its pretty liberal around here, and with the recent elections, I decided it was time to get my CCW. My girlfriend and I are both taking the safety class in January, and then applying shortly after for our permits. My grandfather...

First post here. I'm an NC resident, and will be taking my CCW gun safety course in January, and applying shortly thereafter for my CCW. If I'm understanding this correctly, I can't walk into a grocery store, gas station, or restaurant with a concealed weapon? I was under the assumption...
