Mossberg Shockwave Legality ?

[Steve2020]

I have heard some say it is legal to carry a shockwave for protection?

They say because it is defined as a "FIREARM"

Is it legal to carry in your vehicle ?

 

[Steve2020]

Asking because I have heard several different answers from gun store owners

According to the SDA handbook:



TITLE 21 § 1289.5 DEFINITIONS FOR FIREARMS ACT
"Shotguns" as used in the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971, shall mean any firearm capable of discharging a series of projectiles of any material which may reasonably be expected to be able to cause lethal injury, with a barrel or barrels more than eighteen (18) inches in length, and using a combustible propellant charge, but not to include any weapon so designed with a barrel less than eighteen (18) inches in length unless the overall length of the firearm is twenty-six (26) inches or more. In addition, any "shotgun" capable of firing single projectiles but primarily designed to fire multiple projectiles such as "shot" will be regarded as a "shotgun".



TITLE 21 § 1289.13 TRANSPORTING A LOADED FIREARM
Except as otherwise provided by law, it shall be unlawful to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun in a landborne motor vehicle over a public highway or roadway unless the rifle or shotgun is transported clip- or magazine-loaded, not chamber- loaded, and in an exterior locked compartment of the vehicle or trunk of the vehicle or in the interior compartment of the vehicle.
Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be punished as provided in Section 1289.15 of this title.
Any person who is the operator of a vehicle or is a passenger in any vehicle wherein another person who is licensed pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act to carry a handgun, concealed or unconcealed, and has a rifle or shotgun in such vehicle shall not be deemed in violation of the provisions of this section provided the licensee is in or near the vehicle.

If I am not mistaken, the shockwave is considered an AOW, right? According to Oklahoma law it is neither a shotgun nor a legal carry pistol. Your CC license specifies revolver, derringer, or semi auto. Max size is 45cal. Considering that 20 and 12 gauge are both over that, I do not think that it is legal to carry on your person. In your car? It reads to me as if you can, but I personally would leave the headache at home.

Oklahoma SB 24: This Act amended multiple definitions of the State code to clarify that pistol grip only shotguns (e.g., Mossberg Shockwave or Remington Tac-14) are not “short barreled shotguns” under State law. This Act takes effect November 1, 2019.

TITLE 21 § 1289.3 DEFINITIONS FOR FIREARMS ACT
"Pistols" or "handguns" as used in the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971 and the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall
mean any firearm capable of discharging single or multiple projectiles from a single round of ammunition composed of any
material which may reasonably be expected to be able to cause lethal injury, with a barrel or barrels less than sixteen (16)
inches in length, and using a combustible propellant charge, but not to include any firearm with an overall length of twenty-six (26) inches or more, flare guns, underwater fishing guns or blank pistols.

This is the only thing that matters realistically. The rest of this is how it remains a Title 1 firearm without stepping into Title 2 territory.


The Shockwave has to be over 26 inches in overall length. If the overall length of a gun is below 26 inches, it legally becomes an Any Other Weapon (AOW). Any Other Weapons are also Title II firearms. The Shockwave reaches its overall length via the somewhat long Raptor pistol grip and the combination of a 14-inch barrel. The length totals out to 26.37 inches and gives the gun a little extra to ensure it remains a Title I firearm.

That makes perfect sense with documentation. I appreciate the information
