As stated you need legal advice from somewhere other than here. In my experience and opinion, if its a .30 cal M1 Carbine from the Korean War era, its arguably not a great piece of history and certainly not worth going to jail over. These guns were made by everyone from Saginaw/GM to IBM. Their semi-automatic brothers are all over the gun shows for $500-$700 (in Texas at least.) They are to guns what Yugo was to the car. And a really fast Yugo....is still a Yugo. Its not worth the effort or money to get licensed to own it just to show it off. Now if it were an M14 or an AC223, well that would be a different story.

Just my opinion, not that you asked for it.
