Form an LLC or a Trust, you can transfer NFA weapons to a corporate entity without CLEO signature. A corporate entity can even "make" SBR/SBS on a Form 1 for their own use, again no CLEO sign-off required.

Overkill for home defense if all you're defending is a home...I on the other hand live on a number of acres (still not as much as I want) and I like something that's nice out to 100 yards without the kaboom! of a rifle, considering I get to deal with things out here that "city folk" don't have to. I've used it a few times -- not against people obviously, but there's more to worry about where I live than just the urban "bad guy". We've lost livestock to feral dogs. Sure, it's only "hobby" livestock, but anything that attacks my animals is going down. And while I'm on a few acres I really don't want to be where I'm tossing .223 or .308 around. It's a handy little carbine. Speaking of which, I could use my M1 Carbine, but I find the folding stock Uzi a bit easier to haul around in the truck. Remember not everyone on this forum is holed up in an apartment or cul-de-sac. Sure, there are other pistol caliber carbines, but 1) I primarily own Uzis as part of a collection, and 2) I stay away from non-military firearms. Just my choice. The only non-military stuff we've got is my wife's 10/22 and my stainless folder Mini-14 -- designs both of which have seen plenty of para-military if not military use. I can "easily get" most any non NFA gun I want. I don't want a Glock, that's pretty much it.
And the original poster asked (in addition to the defense question) "what can you tell me about semi-auto Uzis?".
Prince Yamato said:This is brings up a great point, depending on what state you're in. If the BG survives and sues you in a civil trial, you're going to look great defending yourself and why you used a "machinegun" when you could have used a "Glock, like everyone else does."
That's why I stay very far away from states like that. Technically here in Arkansas a SBR'd Uzi is a legal "handgun" for concealed carry. Not that I would do that, when I'm off my property I carry a CZ-75.
