    Perhaps not the right place to bring this up, but why is a short barreled shotgun illegal but a pistol with an even shorter barrel length is not ? What does cutting the barrel off have to do with any type of logic that creates an “illegal” firearm ?

    Key word here is "Logic"

    Just goes to show that if you display aberrant enough behavior that "concerns" enough people, the authorities will find a way to jack you up. If only to make the calls about you stop.

    Gotta pretend they're making that paycheck worth it, by nabbing a homeless guy in the woods and talking it up like he's some terrorist.

    From what the picture shows there appears to a firearm missing. I wonder what happened to it?

    Scary stash of guns?
    Looks like the flea market junk table at a gunshow... stuff that gets taken back home at the end because nobody bought it.

    You wouldn't want police to remove a guy living in a dugout on your land? It ain't "the" woods, it's someone's woods.

    How does having a stock made into a pistol grip make it a SBS?

    As long as the BBl length is over 18" ans the overall length is over 26" it is just a shotgun.

    Soooo....

    Some guy hides in the woods, is an animal lover, and made a bunch of mediocre guns less useful by cutting them up???

    This hero is going to be on every SierraClub/PETA/MDA ad campaign for years.
    What a truly eco-conscience/humane/peaceful example to the rest of us.

    OK, I didn't see the sawed off. I was looking at the Maverick. I went to the article and the picture was bigger. At first glance I thought the sawed off was a pistol.

    I hope somebody involved in the process notices his next court appearance seems to be scheduled for 12-03-2020.

    In a similar but unrelated matter, Milwaukee police found dozens of guns, a large amount of ammo, and a variety of explosives in an abandoned shed behind a public library. A local resident commented, "I been livin' in this neighborhood all my life. I never knowed we had a library"!
