I read about the NC handgun permitting laws and they require a permit for every one purchased or received. It's surprising to me that people in such a State would agree to this practice, but who am I to question.
If someone manufactured a handgun from an unfinished frame, that was not legally a firearm when they acquired it, would that not avoid the requirement to receive such a permit? After all, the State law explicitly says that a license is not required for possession of a rifle, shotgun or handgun. Only to then institute the Jim Crow purchase permit requirements tacked on to that statement for buying or receiving.

Possession is not prohibited, and to create something out of nothing is not purchasing, nor in my opinion, receiving. If you manufacture something from nothing, at least in the legal sense, have you "received"?
