A pistol-gripped shotgun is defined by the BATF as a firearm that is NOT designed for firing from the shoulder and therefore cannot be sold to anybody under the age of 21. That being said, they also do not classify it as a hand gun. Any hand gun with a bore diameter over .50" is considered a destructive device. So, No, it's not a handgun and, NO, it's not a long gun. Don't you just love legislative regulations? Why don't we have a Bureau of Free Speech and Religious Services? Whoops, already do in the FBI. Nevermind.
