Not to mention that tens of thousands of M-1 Carbines were sold at rock bottom prices as part of a program to encourage rifle shooting back in the 1950s-60s...
.30 caliber Carbine ammo is quite plentiful in the US. I checked with my local Wal-Mart and they had several boxes available, granted its a small Wal-Mart, but you get my drift.
As far as the State Guard getting their hands on LEA/Federal Agency weapons...wouldn't the agency be retaining such weapons for their own use?
I've only been able to confrim SG info through the states of Mississippi and Alabama, members from both confirmed that their source of weapons would be through the state's National Guard Bureaus. A strong case could be argued for the M-16EZs, but Mini-14s.....only as a personal weapon.
