I had a friend, now sadly passed on, who was a wheeler-dealer in Charlotte, where I grew up. He sold everything, cameras, wristwatches, cars, TVs, and a gun or two. Once I asked him about going downtown to the Sheriff's office for a NC purchase permit. He replied, "We don't bother with that! Me and my friends just trade among ourselves." This was about 50 years ago. That law has been "honoured in the breach" for as long as it has been around.
