I found this NFA Restrictions link in a comment I was reading.  The actual post escapes me at the moment.

Check out your state.

What a mishmash of rules....

6 states do not have a 2nd Amendment clause in their State Constitution.

2 states have 'unrestricted' handgun carry rules. (+1 since '86)
37 states have 'shall issue' handgun carry rules. (+29 since '86)
9 states have 'may issue' handgun carry rules. (+17 since '86)
2 states have 'right denied' handgun carry rules. (-13 since '86)

37 states allow silencers
43 states allow the ownership of machine guns manufactured prior to '86.
40 states allow short rifles
38 states allow short shotguns
26 states allow individuals to own explosives
45 states allow ownership of 'large bore' rifles (greater than .50 cal - shotguns excluded - think elephant guns)
48 states allow 'other types' (ie, pen-guns etc.)

25 states allow all of the above special categories.
