Alabama Gun Laws
I always knew that one could not get a transfer for a short-barreled rifle or shotgun in Alabama. Never really knew exactly why. It turns out, a short barreled shotgun is considered a weapon of mass death and destruction.

We came so close to getting that changed last session. Bill is supposed to be prefiled for next session along with arm twisting already being done. All I want is to convert my 16″ AR to 10.5″, thats not too much to ask is it?

A short barreled shotgun is “weapon of mass death and destruction”? Wait till the military hears about that! It’ll revolutionize small arms thinking! Either that or those politicians have been relying for legislative guidance on signals received by their tinfoil hats.

But due to the wording of the laws, fully automatic weapons do not count–feel free to put that 14.5 inch barrel on your perfectly-legal-under-Alabama-law M-16!

The link refers to North Carolina laws, not Alabama laws!

Silencers count as a Weapon of Mass Destruction in NC.
Not entirely sure how they are a weapon to begin with, though…

I’m old enough to remember that’s what Johnny Yuma (Nick Admas) carried on the old TV western. I believe it was double-barrel 20 ga.
