Quick question

[Condorguns]

We are having a disagreement on the shop over the Mossberg 930 SPX 12 Gauge Shotgun.


Is this California Legal?

[Librarian]

Don't see why not. What is the concern?

I bought one in CA last year.

ETA there's 85360 and the pistol-grip version 85370

Fixed stocks, fixed tube magazine with 8 round capacity, 18 1/2 inch legal length.

What would make it not legal? It has a pistol grip but the stock is fixed.

[acespawnshop]

What was both sides of the argument? I don't see it being non compliant. Just because it has the pistol grip? We sell ones like this all the time that are semiauto with the grip. Fixed stock its fine.

[Condorguns]

Sorry guys I got crazy busy yesterday and didn't get back here.

My argument was the stock was fixed thus legal.

The other side was it was a semi auto with a pistol grip.

I know strange but I think we are all loosing our minds out here.

PC 30515 in relevant part

(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.

Because the safety is placed on top of the receiver near the stock attachment, it's hard to use when also using a pistol grip.
