2014 Oklahoma Statutes Title 21. Crimes and Punishments §21-1289.5. Definitions for Firearms Act - Shotguns. Universal Citation: 21 OK Stat § 21-1289.5 (2014) DEFINITIONS FOR FIREARMS ACT
"Shotguns" as used in the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971, Sections 1289.1 through 1289.17 of this title, shall mean any firearm capable of discharging a series of projectiles of any material which may reasonably be expected to be able to cause lethal injury, with a barrel or barrels more than eighteen (18) inches in length, and using either gunpowder, gas or any means of rocket propulsion, but not to include any weapon so designed with a barrel less than eighteen (18) inches in length. In addition, any "shotgun" capable of firing single projectiles but primarily designed to fire multiple projectiles such as "shot" will be regarded as a "shotgun".
Added by Laws 1971, c. 159, § 5, emerg. eff. May 24, 1971. Amended by Laws 1995, c. 272, § 43, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.
The definition of shotgun does not include that which has a barrel of less than 18 inches because those are sawed off shotguns by definition. |
