I am over the legal age to purchase this product in my condition No, at least not legally. Of course, common sense dictates that if it looks like a duck and quack like a duck, then it`s a duck. Again, exclude common sense from conversation. The Shockwave belongs to another category of firearms. It is simply a “firearm,” and it is not a pistol, rifle or shotgun. Age at which you can legally buy a gun: 21 (18 if you`re in the military or honorably discharged) The Mossberg shockwave could be one of the most disruptive weapons of the last decade. Mossberg is best known as this shotgun company. His name has long been associated with sporting and tactical shotguns.
Mossberg 500 occupies deer stalls and duck blinds across the country, and the 590A1 is the military shotgun of choice. However, Shockwave does something different and is pretty much legal. Yes. Georgia is one of 30 states with a law stating that you do not have to withdraw from an aggressor and that you can legally use violent or lethal force against them as long as you are in a place where you have a legal right. With a 14-inch barrel and an overall length of just over 26 inches, many wonder if this is a short-barreled shotgun in the NFA sense? To answer the question of the legality of this weapon, we must look at the federal definition of a short-barreled shotgun. When the Shockwave was first introduced, it appeared to be an illegal firearm under Texas law. Texas law defines a “shotgun” without requiring it to be designed to be pulled from the shoulder. Ironically, Mossberg is sending shockwaves through Texas. Needless to say, the citizens of this pro-gun state were not happy with this outcome. How could it be legal under federal law but illegal under Texas law? Because the Texas definition of a shotgun is broader, the shockwave was likely considered a short-barrelled firearm under state law. Section 46.05 of the Texas Penal Code criminalizes possession of an unregistered short-barrelled weapon. This result was absurd, since Texas law required the registration of the Shockwave with the ATF, but the ATF did not require federal registration.
The legislator corrected this curious result with H.B. 1819. It clarified the section of the Penal Code dealing with NFA elements by adding language that excludes articles that are not subject to registration with the ATF. Therefore, the Mossberg shockwave is exempt from Section 46.05 under the new Texas rules and is now legal in Texas. Age at which you can legally own a rifle or shotgun: No minimum age. So there you have it. The Mossberg Shockwave is a legal firearm in Texas. Note that modifying the Shockwave is not a good idea. When you buy the Shockwave, make sure you don`t saw the back and replace it with a shoulder rest. Such a change would make your Shockwave an NFA object.
Without a tax stamp and proper documentation, possession of this altered shockwave would be illegal. Also note: If you`re looking for a 26-inch 12-gauge pistol and you`re not in Texas, check your state`s laws before buying one. Every state is different, and even in Texas, the shockwave wasn`t legal until the law was changed. Just because you find it for sale doesn`t mean it`s legal. For something to be a shotgun, it must have or have had a reserve. If a Mossberg 590 never had a supply, then technically it`s not a shotgun. If it`s not a shotgun, then it can`t be a short-barreled shotgun. Many guns are barely legal, but the shock wave is different. If you see one, your first thoughts are probably that it is a short-barreled shotgun, also known as a sawed-off shotgun. This makes it a Title II firearm that requires a tax stamp to be legal. Without a stamp, owning the Shockwave would of course be illegal, right? Firearms whose possession is illegal in Georgia: bazooka, machine gun, shotgun or sawed-off shotgun, rocket launchers.
In response, the Atlanta Civic Circle took a look at gun laws in Georgia, where nearly half of adults live in a home with a gun — and a young person can`t legally drink until age 21, but can own a gun by age 18. The shock wave must be more than 26 inches in total length. If the total length of a weapon is less than 26 inches, it legally becomes any other weapon (AOW). All other weapons are also firearms covered by Title II. I also like the fact that Mossberg turned up his nose at the ATF and gave us a gun that exactly fits the legal definition of a shotgun. If they want to abandon common sense with gun control laws, we should beat them in their own game. We all know what a shotgun is. It is a smooth gun that fires shotguns. That is the definition of common sense. Well, since when do U.S. law and the ATF have anything to do with common sense? But, for once, their lack of common sense benefits us.

We received many questions about the Mossberg 590 Shockwave. This firearm fires shotgun ammunition but has a new type of pistol grip and a barrel length of only 14 inches. It is marketed as a non-NFA weapon that does not require a tax stamp. The question: IS IT LEGAL? Consider your duty of care before publishing partial information to distort your narrative.

No. In fact, Georgia explicitly prohibits any county or city from regulating gun shows in any way, according to the Giffords Law Center for the Prevention of Gun Violence. This means that anyone, regardless of age, can buy a gun at a gun fair. Praesent a nisl eu purus bibendum convallis. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Integer vel cursus felis, in scelerisque eros.
