Can a person without a permit buy a handgun for their house?

...Some like to try the "but its a place of repair, it doesn't say I have to be getting it repaired!", but I think that is asking for trouble.

I like trouble.

yes he can but he has to take it straight home in the package, that is what the gunshop bradis told me

just end all the BS, and convince him to get a long gun. he's not going to carry it, so why have an anemic handgun in a situation where a shotgun or rifle will be WAY more effective? this solution would also put an end to the necessity of a LTCH. having a long gun instead would also alleviate any concerns about transporting it.

Agreed

Where does he live? I shoot at least once per week, and I haven't been to a range in almost 2 years now. It's quite possible that he won't need to go to a range to become proficient with his handgun.

That said, there isn't really a downside to getting the LTCH. Especially for someone who was in the military, so everything about him is "on record" anyway.
