selling pistol to an individual

Post by noname »

I have an older .40 cal handgun. My thumbs are arthritic enough now that I cannot cycle the slide the usual way. This gun has a grip safety. I end up using my whole hand and for a brief moment the muzzle is pointed at my elbow. I have this plastic gizmo called a handi-racker but would be useless in an emergency.

Use to, several years ago one person could sell to another without getting a permit. For criminal reasons I have either kept an unwanted gun or traded to a dealer. I was at this dealer a week ago and he said I should trade it in to get the gun "out of my name". Never heard of this. In NC we have to have a permit to buy from a dealer but not for a private sale. What could he have meant "out of my name"? I am reasonably sure this gun was bought before the computer/internet age.
