I noticed the chart here (http://www.full-auto.com/library_states.htm), and I have to wonder, for the states that say yes, there seems to be a problem with getting them anyway in certain ones, like MA and CT.

My question, however, is as follows: Is it difficult to get NFA items in ME, and if so, where else relatively cold has them besides AK?

Montana and Idaho ? Pretty cold in ID :p

Well, I just want to make sure I'm living in a state where I can get the toys I've always wanted, and VT doesn't cut it.... no suppressors.

But I'm still looking for firsthand experience on getting NFA items in various states, to make sure I'll be able to.

NJ has a yes posted for machine guns but I can tell you that it's really a NO. In addition to complying with the NFA you also have to have a state "Machine gun license" that the courts have ruled is really a "de facto ban on machine guns". :banghead:

Who can really afford the tens of thousands a full auto costs nowadays if you aren't an LEO? You have to be stinkin' rich, or willing to sacrifice just about everything else in your life.

Even if I were to move to an NFA-friendly state, I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to rock 'n roll unless the 1986 ban is overturned.

I got my NIB M10/9 for $2600, not all MGs are $10000+ yet.
M16s can still be found for about $9000, it's mostly the C&R Thompsons, nazi MGs and MP5s that are over 10k.

M16s can still be found for about $9000,
That's more than the last car I bought. I won't be getting into MG's very soon.

Yeah, but can your last car mow down hundreds of innocent civilians and thousands of innocent children with a single pull of the trigger? Does you car hold an unlimited amount of fuel that can propel it through any barrier known to man? Can your car turn you into a raving lunatic bent on the destruction of all you see? Hmm?!?!? I didn't think so, sucka!

Personally, I think you got jipped!

:rolleyes: They are tough to get for the children.

LEOs have to go through the same thing the rest of us do to acquire machineguns for personal use. Their agency can purchase machineguns and issue them to LEOs for use while on duty, but they belong to the agency.

I live in MA and had a pretty easy time on getting a machine gun. It helps if you know the right people. The Gun store owner is a Capt. on the poilce force and he talked to the Cheif before I went to him to get the signature. I would like to get another one but the prices are just too high.

New Hampshire. There are no state laws whatsoever. I know several people who own them, and AFAIK they had no trouble getting signed off.

If you want more info, I'd recommend contacting Jim McLoud at www.gunsnh.com. He's a dealer and runs a couple of ranges where anyone can rent machine guns, and puts on some public shoots.
Riley's ( http://www.rileysguns.com) is another popular dealer.


BTW, here's some pics and flicks from one of our Halloween shoots:

I now know where I'm going for my b-day. I'm going to rent some full-auto funtime.

Is it bring your own ammo or do you have to use theirs?

PA's NFA law is interesting. It basically says that you can't have an NFA unless you comply with the Federal laws pertaining to them. Thus, as long as you do the federal hoopla, you're good, without further adieu.

Basically, they structured it like this so they could claim jurisdiction in addition to the feds in cases of violations.

As for NJ, there is a license a citizen can get, but afaik, NOT ONE have ever been issued to someone not associated with law enforcement, or a class III dealer.

And then there's the municipalities. Up until 1989, the Milwaukee County sheriff was signing Form 4's. Then the recently-elected mayor told all law enforcement officials to stop signing. As far as I know, no city of Milwaukee resident has been able to purchase an NFA weapon since.
