I’ve lived in Brunswick, Georgia and rural low country SC as a NFA owner. The only problem I have had was some range owners won’t allow personal full auto on their ranges. I’d get enough land to have your own range. Given the number of FFLs in my area, it seems to be pretty FFL friendly.
I’m around 58 business days on a late March submission. You folks are NOT the source of encouragement I was searching for. I’m really just hoping it’ll be a shorter wait than the paper forms.
