If it's long enough, it's still a normal shotgun. If the overall length is less than 26" it's a SBS regardless of barrel length. (It had a shoulder stock so I don't think it can qualify as an AOW.)PUCKER wrote:OK, quick question for pistol grip shotguns (with no shoulder stock) - then what is it legally defined as? Reason I ask is that I have a Mossberg 500 12 gage shotgun with a shoulder stock and from time to time I unbolt that and put on the pistol grip (no shoulder stock then)....just curious if that changes the definition of "what" it is...
If it's over 26" and the barrel is at least 18" then it seems to fall in the big bucket of "firearm" with traditional shotguns under Texas law. IANAL.PUCKER wrote:specifically, does that have any implications with Texas law? As in - does the classification change from long gun/rifle to ________ and now is there a different set of rules for carry?
