Re: cumberland county NC, NFA friendly?
Jerry: Thanks for the reply. Yes, shoot local matches, haven't been to the Nationals now in 7 or so years. I still like shooting my 625 smith wheel gun!!!
Our local club just had a falling out with our former range owner..after the club spent a lot of time and money building it for him!!!
NC NFA laws are pretty straight forward, must have permit from the Sheriff of the county. Chief of Police will not do. Thus as we have 100 county's we literally have 100 different opinions. Most seem to take each on a case by case basis. If the individual has a clean record and has his ducks in a row, generally not a problem. Especially in the western part of the state.
But, we have several dealers lately that are really about to get the pooch screwed with "NFA Trust."
And the guy that makes the decisions (or better term: is tasked with interpreting the somewhat vague statues) is a friend, USPSA and 3-gun shooter...but these threads want to make him the bad guy. NC statues put a suppressor in the same category and bombs & grenades: Weapons of mass death & destruction. But who ever said politicians were smart!
Hey, a State Trooper gives you a ticket for 75 in a 55. But, officer the interstates were build in the 60s & 70s. Designed for 70-75 mph traffic with 60s technology and Bias ply tires (or Tars as we say it here in the mountains) The trooper probably agrees 100%, but until the politicians change it, he is just doing his job.
What about you?
