It's my understanding that the State (i.e. outside of NYC) the permit gives both ownership and carry priveleges. Each handgun needs to be listed - so it is effectively also a gun registration law.

Durham County in NC has a handgun registration law. This was the result of a "local act" - but I'm not sure when it was passed. --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
