A silly question! (also posted in GD)

But one I will ask anyway!

First some background!

I have been looking to buy a crossbow to use for archery season. I need a crossbow due to the previous injuries to my right elbow that now prevents me from pulling a regular bow back.

And as many of you know I live in the sticks in South Carolina and the closest city to me is Charlotte NC.

Well in North Carolina you have to have a pistol permit and be a resident of that state to buy a crossbow!

My question! When did a crossbow become a regulated firearm?

And does this even sound right?

As far as I know even a convicted fellon is allowed to own a crossbow.

I can order from Cabela's but since I really do not know anything about crossbows I was hopeing to find one locally so I can check it out before I buy it.
