I’m just asking for a let’s say a friend, let’s just say a feller has a sawed off shotgun (double barrel) that’s about 110-115 years old that has the barrels cut down and has been in the family for over a hundred years, can the gun be kept as a family heirloom. Gun is obviously not safe to use and I was told once that if the barrels are unhinged from the stock then it’s legal to keep but if barrels are mounted back on it then it’s a violation. And certain feller was told a tax stamp of about $200 was required to legally possess it, and this feller knows gun is not worth paying that but would like to display it and show it sometimes. Can firing pins be removed and that make it legal to possess. Everybody is going to chime in on this but I’d like to know what a lawman has to say, anybody that saw this thing would definitely want to display it as it has prominence that is associated with it and making moonshine during prohibition.
