[QUOTE="Lightsluvr, post: 2157746, member: 25808"] Why do I find this is hard to believe... that one of the most popular self-defense weapons is suddenly against the law? That's probably news to the folks at Taurus. This is another example of "only in California" The Taurus Judge along with the MIL Inc Thunder-Five, Bond Arms .45LC/.410 derringers & Thompson Center Contender with .45LC/.410 barrels due meet the definition of a short-barreled shotgun under CA law; Penal Code 12001(f) and 12020(c)(1)(A)&(B). In other words, the Taurus Judge is illegal in CA due to it being classified as a short-barreled shotgun under CA law. Duuuh. :smack: It is not a shotgun under Federal (or Oklahoma) law, because it is a [I]revolver[/I] that just happens to shoot the .410 round. It has a rifled barrel and is designed to be fired in one hand. The statute sates: Under 26 USCA § 861 (a), firearms is defined as “"a shot gun or rifle having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length, or any other weapon, [U][B]except[/B][/U] a pistol or revolver, from which a shot is discharged by an explosive if such weapon is capable of being concealed on the person...
