    Question about semi auto and forward grips

    Is it illegal to have an AFG on a semi auto shotgun?

    Believe since it has a fix/tube mag, makes it so you can have a forward grip without any legal issues.

      It is only illegal if the semi-auto shotgun also has a folding or telescoping stock.

      30515. (a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, "assault weapon" also
      means any of the following:
      (6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
      (A) A folding or telescoping stock.
      (B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action
      of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
      (7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a
      detachable magazine.
      (8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

      *Disclaimer: The DOJ has made no official ruling on if the AFG is a 'vertical handgrip', but assume the answer is yes.
      You think you know, but you have no idea.
