[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2952241, member: 7157"] It's certainly a gray area when it comes to some of those firearms you mentioned, but one of the definitions of a shotgun is a smoothbore barrel. The Judge has a rifled barrel, and technically, its caliber is listed as 45 Colt, if I'm not mistaken. So the Judge would be classified as a pistol, no? I'm guessing also some of the other firearms you mentioned are of the same ilk. But it's easier to envision a Judge as being a pistol, if a largish one, than it is to envision the Shockwave as anything other than a short-barreled shotgun. A justice of the peace would probably see it that way, technicalities aside, so you'd have an uphill battle in court. Better have a heck of a good lawyer and deep pockets. [/QUOTE]
