Today I was in a pawn shop and a young fellow brought a pistol in to pawn. The lady was helping him and getting ready for the paperwork when I overheard him(not eavsdropping, I was only 4 feet from the guy) tell her that he was on probation from a misdemeanor, something about fleeing or elluding. The lady stopped the transaction and told him he'd have to have his dad do the transaction as he would be unable to retrieve his gun later.
This is very surprising to me as I thought it took a felony to lose your gun rights. I live in North Carolina. Any thoughts on this subject?
