P.G. Shotguns

If a shotgun has a pistol grip installed on it, the ATF considers it a handgun and a dealer may only sell it to someone over 21. If it has a full stock, it may be sold to those 18 and up. RKBA is right, they consider it a handgun since the definition is indeed that it be fired from the shoulder. Now, I can sell the shotgun with stock to an 18 year old, sell him a pistol grip, and lend him the wrench to change it and that is legal. Dumb, but legal. I have a copy of the letter from the Man, but I don't think it's on this computer. Look in 18 USC 921 (a)(5) for the definition. As for your state law, I honestly can't say.
