I was looking at the requirements for getting a pistol permit on the mecklenburg county sheriff's office and it said that there is a minimum age of 21. I sure hope this is a mistake. After checking the NC firearms laws, I confirmed my belief that the age for legal possession of a handgun in nc is 18. So I can legally buy a handgun from an individual by state law, but I can't own it legally in my county?
I'm 19 and and after shooting rifles and shotguns for the past 7 years, I would like to get a handgun. Is there anyone that can weigh in on this?
I'll call the sheriff's office to bring this up tommorrow.
