You don't need all that ridiculous tactical bs. Just get a 10 guage with a short barrel.

What "ridiculous tactical BS"?

A 12-gauge Remington or Mossburg pump-action is as foolproof and inexpensive as they come. Shotgun barrels of less than 18" or an overall length of less than 26" are illegal in this state for most average folks (see post #28).

They're legal with a Class III permit.

It's my understanding they're legal under federal law with a Class III permit, but only if you live within a state that permits it under state law. A kind of catch-22.

North Carolina General Statute § 14-288.8 (Section C-3) - http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/enactedl...s_14-288.8.pdf

That statute you quoted lists the exceptions. Suppressors are legal in NC as are machine guns & short barrel rifles & shotguns. Getting the signature of your county's sheriff is the difficult part.

Unfortunately, I don't qualify for any of these exemptions:

(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.
