Reply #5: Because not all gun buyers intend to use them as a Consealed Weapon [View All]

[Endangered Specie]

Much the same reason that one shouldn't require license/registration/insurance for a car that you don't intend to drive on public roads. I collect old military/hunting style rifles, why should I be subject to showing that I am proficient at shooting an attacker in public with them when such an idea is ludicrous?

But, fyi, any gun purchase other than antique or local face-to-face require NICS background checks and, in NC at least, a separate Pistol purchase permit is required for handguns (which, before you say is a good idea, is a remnant of Jim Crow era law, ie, the sheriffs could stop blacks from having guns).
