nearly identical legislation (with the exception of section 10) has been passed in both montana and tennesee with several other states considering it.

a montana citizen who wants to manufacture guns is having a court battle with the feds right now because they say that they will still prosecute him under federal law even if montana says what he is doing is legal.

The question is...what happens when the court rules against the states? will the states back down? or will they band together?

Interesting, I'd like to see this in North Carolina.

I think all federal law enforcement agencies are just about the same in North Carolina except under special conditions but in general, I believe people like the FBI and perhaps even the BATFE, etc, etc can not act without being in support of or supporting a state or local law enforcement agency. Hell, even NC SBI don't have full law enforcement capabilities unless a crime went down right in front of them. I'll have to get one of my friends that is professionally in the know to clear that up.
