I would like to buy an M-1 carbine, but it is even illegal to OWN one in the People's Republic of New Jersey.

The M-1 (semi automatic) or the M-2 (selective fire, capable of full automatic) is illegal in NJ?

Or both?

BTW, I fired an M-2 a few times back in the 60's, and learned very quickly not to simply cradle the weapon with your left hand in full auto mode. You're shooting at the sky very quickly if you do that!!

The M-1 carbine is illegal to even own in NJ. I don't know about the M-2. The M-1 Garand is legal, though -- for now.

There is a bill to ban the .50 cal. in the state, as well.
