How old should your kids be before you show them your gun collection

Could I just sell you a gun CWG? What is the legal way for that transaction to go down? Not sure what the law is and if there is even any laws pertaining to the sale between two individuals.

Q: What is the deal with this Pistol Purchase Permit law? I moved from one NC county to another and found that the Sheriffs of each county have vastly different requirements for getting Permits. Isn't this covered by State law?

A: The Pistol Purchase Permit law was passed in 1919, and is a classic piece of Jim Crow-era legislation (Jim Crow History). The recognition of civil rights for blacks and other minorities meant that the Constitution applied to minorities. This meant that blacks and other minorities could exercise their natural right to self-defense, with the full support of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution and Article I, Sec. 30 of the North Carolina Constitution. This did not sit well with the Ku Klux Klan (which for many years was headquartered in Raleigh, just down the street from the Legislature) and other racist groups and influential individuals. The racist members of the State Legislature knew they could not overtly prevent minorities from purchasing handguns for protection, so the seemingly innocent Pistol Purchase Permit law was passed. This law allowed local Sheriffs and government officials to discriminate with impunity at the local level.

Even today, the Pistol Purchase Permit law is implemented in an arbitrary and capricious fashion by 100 individual County Sheriffs. Some Sheriffs do little more than collect the fees and hand out permits to the law-abiding, because more than that is not necessary. Others implement ridiculous, intrusive requirements that either discriminate on a wholesale basis or are selectively applied so that discrimination can be more personalized.

With the advent of the National Instant Check System (NICS) there is no public safety reason why the Pistol Purchase Permit system needs to continue. The Jim Crow era is over, and the laws of that era need to be eliminated. Most people agree with that in principle, but for some reason when it comes to guns a significant number of people seem to think that discrimination and arbitrary requirements are a good thing. This is something NCRPA totally disagrees with.

We have been trying for 10 years to get the Pistol Purchase Permit system completely eliminated. Apparently when it comes to gun control a lot of people think Jim Crow is still a good idea.

So glad we don't need affirmative action or anything else like that, now that everyone is really equal in the eyes of the law.

why do you want to share your gun collection with your kids? you say you haven't fired them in a decade so i assume you don't intend to take your kids hunting.

Not sure if I want to yet. I was just thinking about it last night when I was cleaning out the garage. I have these guns that I used to shoot as a hobby. Two were handed down to me and they go back generations in my family. Would be cool to show to my kids someday.

So in a nutshell, since we are both middle aged white guys we are good to trade guns for money.

In fact, it's encouraged!

I am really on the fence with this one. Statistically, getting a gun is far more likely to get a family member shot than some masked evil intruder and I usually play the odds.

My wife wants one since we are just a tad out in the sticks. But she had a dream that her daughter got a hold of it so now....who knows.

:lol:

Idk if that guy's a pilgrim or not...

He's part of my FiL's "posse"... My FiL is big into SASS, Single Action Shooting Society

They go to ranges and target shoot... dress up as cowboys, the whole bit. It's pretty fun actually.

I used to do schuetzen rifles with my grandpa. He would make the guns and bullets. Single action falling blocks

I was quite the marksman until I started beating off 10x a day and my vision blurred.

My next door neighbor told my wife a story about a home invasion in our neighborhood and we went from having 2 unloaded guns in the house to 7 loaded weapons and she sleeps with a loaded .38 revolver on the nightstand.

edit:

its just the two of us these days. No kids in the house.

Just let me know, it's not going anywhere. Maybe at the next neighborhood cookout, we can get hammered and shoot at the power lines. You know, give it a test drive before you buy.
