The article doesn’t define short barreled. Would, for instance, a mossberg 500 fall into that category or are they talking about barrel lengths less than 18 inches?
What about a rifled shotgun barrel?
I haven’t read the law. You’d think they’d define it in terms of inches, but a police state would prefer to leave it to the judgment of the observer. That way they’d have another law that most gun owners would always be in violation of.
Loved that gun had matching his and her sets but sadly Galveston Bay claimed those.
I also want to know if the Mossberg 500 police version has been de-legitimized.
I’d guess VP Biden would approve of it for home protection.
18” is the minimum length for ordinary shotgun barrels. 16” is the minimum length for ordinary rifle barrels. If you want to cut off one to a shorter length than those it requires pre-registration, background check and a $200 tax under the National Firearms Act of 1934. If they come from the FACTORY that way originally, then they are categorized as an “Any Other Weapon” and only require a $5.00 tax, plus registration and background check. All are “Class III” weapons, as are machine guns, and all are legal in Texas.
NO on the Mossberg Model 500 “Persuader”. That is an ordinary gun, not an NFA Firearm.
