Thanks Six and F.U.
Confusing regs on that one.
I still can't tell from the news on the story if the gun used would be one that the kid's parents might have legally owned. I'm wondering if there's a possibility that his parents could face illegal arms possession charges.
I guess it depends on whether the barrel was at least 18 inches or they filed the necessary paperwork and taxes if it the barrel was shorter than that, yet the gun still measured at least 26 inches in total. I'm trying to envision what the NM Police Chief described as a semi-automatic "20 gauge shotgun with the wood sawed off".
Maybe it looked something like this initially?
