Applicants must be 21 h years or older, have lived in Brunswick County for the C1 past six months and have a good reason for wanting a di pistol. As outlined in the state statute, good reasons for owning a pistol include protecting the home or business, th target shooting, collecting and hunting. tx "Most people who apply are either collectors or home fr protectors," Ms. Roach said. "They're usually someone a< who lives alone and a gun gives them a sense of being ',i: able to take care of themselves. There are also some who have to carry around a large amount of money." g, Hunters or fishermen also seek permits for handguns f j( to shoot snakes, she added. IV.

U, Of the more tliar. 250 applications received by the department last year, two or three were disapproved due ni lo convictions for felonies. "Not very many will apply if they know they have a w criminal record." Ms. Roach said. "Usually it will be a ty breaking and entering conviction, but you don't want to give a permit to someone who's been convicted of break- n ing and entering." to The state law docs not require officials to check per- pt suuai references or an applicant's Police Information Network criminal history file before issuing permits. ^ If you're < buy SGitic smaflc callXer< FOR A PERSONAL DEMONSTRATK IIO T T\TCW^T^1V on uiio w SER\ IAutnoniM X*ro* Se(M . - _ ?
