Repealing NC’s Pistol Purchase Permitting system would abolish the requirement that all handgun purchasers pass a criminal background check, no matter where they are buying the handgun – even at a gun show or on the Internet.
In states without regulations on private firearm sales, 57% of firearms purchases from a private seller did not include a background check. If we repeal our PPP, many people in NC who now undergo background checks could buy handguns at gun shows or online without a background check.
