what she is saying is your reason for owning the weapon doesnt conform to NC state law. she included a copy of the state law, (or she says she did). in the law it should or may give reasons for owning a SBR. Error letter is what she sent you. so I guess she wants a new form and the old form showing what you fixed??? |

No, in NC "all lawful purposes" does not work. NC law is VERY specific about the exclusion that allows possession of "Weapons of Mass Death and Destruction". Item b(4) in bold is the key. § 14 288.8. Manufacture, assembly, possession, storage, transportation, sale, purchase, delivery, or acquisition of weapon of mass death and destruction; exceptions. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is unlawful for any person to manufacture, assemble, possess, store, transport, sell, offer to sell, purchase, offer to purchase, deliver or give to another, or acquire any weapon of mass death and destruction. (b) This section does not apply to: (1) Persons exempted from the provisions of G.S. 14 269 with respect to any activities lawfully engaged in while carrying out their duties. (2) Importers, manufacturers, dealers, and collectors of firearms, ammunition, or destructive devices validly licensed under the laws of the United States or the State of North Carolina, while lawfully engaged in activities authorized under their licenses. (3) Persons under contract with the United States, the State of North Carolina, or any agency of either government, with respect to any activities lawfully engaged in under their contracts. (4) Inventors, designers, ordnance consultants and researchers, chemists, physicists, and other persons lawfully engaged in pursuits designed to enlarge knowledge or to facilitate the creation, development, or manufacture of weapons of mass death and destruction intended for use in a manner consistent with the laws of the United States and the State of North Carolina. To put it simply: "Research and development" is what is needed. The "error letter" is the form she sent you that indicates the error. It usually has a control number on the front that helps match the paperwork you send back, with the stuff she kept (print cards, check..etc.) Just make the corrections on the forms, put your initials by the corrections, and send everything she sent you back to her. |

as always thank you very much
so i send in 2 new form 1s with Research and development or just correct the form or both ? I think i should send 2 new forms with corrections and error letter with a small note with the control number listed. I dont know if it would be a good idea to mark through the protection of home and bussiness and insert Research and development you guys tell me its just a stamp I just dont want to through up any red flags thanks again |

I would resubmit new forms rather than modifying the original form, remember your submitted form gets a stamp and is returned to you- that's what you keep, I wouldn't want a form with stuff marked out and I wouldn't want to risk it getting rejected again because of something marked out. Not sure whether you'd be better off sending the rejected form back with the new ones or not. |

two new forms means new CLEO signatures unless you did not need CLEO signatures, I would definatly give feedback to your C3 dealer. Perhaps he intentionally did this if you chose not to buy anything from his store, but decided to make it yourself.

I think the term of "Weapons of Mass Death and Destruction" is alien to most others in more friendlier SBR states. On the surface, it seems NC law makes SBR's right up their with Nukes and chemical weapons. |

You can either make the corrections on the existing forms (If you have CLEO signatures, this is what you should do), or just make up new forms. If you do make corrections to the existing forms, make sure that you initial them like Dan mentioned. NC is (I think) the only state that requires this (For research and developement) response to that question. In other states, "For all lawful purposes" or "Firearms collector" will usually work. |

I would send back the originals.
The original forms are probably stamped with a control number at the top of the form. You don't want to send back "new" forms which (lacking the control number), will probably result in a High Density Cluster F... Sending the originals (and error letter) worked for me. |

I believe I've seen people post here before that they were rejected for it. ATF expects to see "reasearch" as the reason, although "all legal purposes" is supposedly accecptable. |

I'm glad I read this thread (thanks warpig8654). I thought that I couldn't own a SBR in NC b/c of all the info. I was reading and I see the hang up in section 4. However, I AM doing a trust. I purchased Quicken Willmaker and set up my entire trust. I just changed my section 4 to "research..." Will I have a problem on my trust?

I'll add to this in a bit and update.I am in NC (Lee County) and my form 1 was submitted Thursday and the reason stated was "collecting purposes" . I submitted this myself for a PS90. My dealer here in Dunn also submitted the same day a form 4 for a gemtech Halo and put somthing similar to "all legal use or purposes". Hopefully these fly. It seems to be all about the person reviewing the paperwork. Its also not the first time he has done this.

So, on a related topic, if someone were to already have NFA items before deciding to move to NC, what would happen if their existing Form-1s and Form-4s did not have "R&D" listed block 4i?

My point is that you should read a thread before posting your indignation with the inadequacies of your fellow arfcommers. You should also refrain from posting incorrect information that will cause people to get their forms rejected. |

Nope. The only mild snag is in the MG area, and it is effectively non-existant: Sections 941.25 and 941.26 shall not prohibit or interfere with the manufacture for, and sale of, machine guns to the military forces or the peace officers of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, or the transportation required for that purpose; the possession of a machine gun for scientific purpose, or the possession of a machine gun not usable as a weapon and possessed as a curiosity, ornament or keepsake; or the possession of a machine gun other than one adapted to use pistol cartridges for a purpose manifestly not aggressive or offensive. FWIW, i've had a 5320.20 approved to NC with "all lawful purposes" listed, and it was approved. |

Nope. NC's law is very clear. Now.... if you put down "To determine whether or not chicks really do dig short barrels..."

^^^ "Using every scientific and quantitative method at my disposal, I wish to determine whether or not a shorter barrel will negatively impact a male's chance of scoring a date at the shooting range. I hypothesize that because a shorter barrel is louder when it ejaculates its bullet, it will attract more female attention, thus proving that chicks really do dig short barrels."

Dan-P is correct.
I have used "scientific/experimental purposes" for an SBR and a suppressor. An MG permit must be obtained from your Sheriff for an MG and the above reason must be used in the Form 4. Be aware that the Sheriffs have all been told not to sign for these firearms by the NC Attorney General. If you are fortunate enough to have one sign for you, it is bad publicity for the Sheriff if this is posted on the internet. |

Dan-P is right.
Faldoc is correct on all three accounts.. For those in NC you must put "Research and development", if you have a Collectors license then you may put “"Research and development, Firearms Collection”, the S/D must be put first, unless you want to increase the wait time. SBR and Cans are processed quickly, the MG will take more time and will require a local permit which will have to be sent with Form4 to ATF. |
