Rastus, we NC guys have real problems getting suppressors. It's actually easier to get a full auto than to comply with the State "Weapon of Mass Death and Destruction" restrictions. Basicly, you have to be in the business, for real, to qualify. On the other hand, all it takes is a Sheriff that will interpret the law the way he wants to and sign the NFA application. Most don't, but a few do. Don't know about New Hanover Co. where Twyacht lives? Mac.
