"...Are carbines considered evil up there..." Hi. Any semi-auto, centrefire with a barrel length less than 18.5" is restricted just like a handgun(some rifles are restricted because they're too scary looking. AR-15's for one.) Carbines have been restricted since 1 Jan., 1978.
However, if you can find a longer than 18.5" barrel(IJ made some 19" barrels around 1979. Nobody makes 'em now.) and have it installed the Carbine stops being evil. Converting one to a straight pull, bolt action or pump action makes 'em ok too. The mag has to be pinned to 5 though.
"...you might tell them..." Government's have been told that and more since 1977. They didn't listen then and they don't listen now.
