North Carolina Firearm/Gun Bill of Sale
The North Carolina firearm bill of sale allows for the sale of any type of gun so long as the purchaser has a license in possession that allows them to own a gun (long guns are exempt from this requirement). The buyer should always be advised to check the Serial Number (S/N) of the firearm to make sure it is visible and has not been tampered.
