On the other hand, ATF Form 4 is required to transfer an NFA firearm to an individual or legal entity, such as a trust.

A: There is no NC state law that requires you to register your firearms, or notify any public official. One county in NC requires its residents to register handguns – Durham County. This power was granted to Durham County by the State Legislature. No other counties or localities are permitted to require registration.
Generally, North Carolina has no laws prohibiting you from gifting a gun or buying a gun for someone who lives within the state. However, you must consider whether this person can legally receive or possess firearms in the first place. At the minimum, the recipient must be over 18.
