    DRACO "Single Shot"

    I am considering buying a DRACO AK, I noticed they are sold as "single shots" - what if you are at the range and a LEO comes up to you and checks your firearm and notices it is registered as a single shot but it is a 10 round semi-auto with a fixed mag? Can someone please send me a link about legalities of this? Or explain?

    They are sold as single-shot firearms in order to exempt them from the safe handgun roster.

    There is no law that says you can't modify or convert firearms you own into different types, like single shot to bolt action, or single shot to semi-auto, or semi-auto to bolt action.

    Because there is no law that says you can't, it's legal by default. You won't find a law that says you CAN do it, because that's not how law works. The law says what you CANNOT do. Everything else is legal.
    Please read the Calguns Wiki
    Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

      Understood.

      Is this any documentation on this subject, like a pamphlet or anything of that nature?
