Police file wrong charges

Violation of NFA34 for unregistered AOW. Where is ATF when you need them?

Although I would love to see guys like this go to the Fed for prosecution, and I think the galvanized pipe cap was a dead giveaway, without more obvious RAS or PC this will probably get tossed as a 4A violation.

Also shotgun with barrel less than 18 inches. Which just goes to show how ridiculous the NFA is. The problem is the person wielding it, not an unsafe deficiency of inches.

...But Dave, you know it's the prosecutor who determines the charges, not the " police ". And he can still be charged with the Destructive Device charge in addition to State charges. That's up to the U.S. Atty.
..It ain't a case of " should have.....(or) wrong charges........"

KMAN,

Not a shotgun. No shoulder stock therefore not designed to be fired from the shoulder. It is an any other weapon, AOW, and a 10 year 250000 fine if the Feds prosecuted.

Yep, NFA34 is bad law.

I hate felons in possession. Why do prosecutors always plead down the gun charge?

Just Askin!
