Same law, different rationale

The North Carolina pistol purchase permit is a requirement that was put in place during segregation to control the sale of firearms (to black people, primarily). Apparently, the NC Sheriffs Association likes this law, although I don't think it's because they're racists; I think they just love that additional source of revenue.

Fortunately for those of us who have concealed carry permits, purchase permits are not required.

BTW, I just saw this short article on YouTube gun guy, Paul Harrell. His videos are well worth watching. They're informative, common-sensical, and frequently shot through with dry, and even self-deprecating humor.
