I'm curious at to how the 12 year-old got a hold of a sawed-off shotgun. Parents? Bought it illegally? Straw purchaser? Stole it?
No time to research state specific laws right now, but did read a quick blurb indicating that sawed-off shotguns are legal depending on barrel size and there are some restrictions and ambiguities regarding their legal ownership in various states.
If anyone has quick access to the caveats (in and/or out of New Mexico) and can post them, much appreciated. Otherwise, I'll look around later tonight.
