Washington Are pistol grips legal on Shotguns? Washington

[CB2020]

After HB1240 passed I thought that it was illegal to have a pistol grip on a shotgun. Every firearm shop I have been too within Washington has not had any shotguns with a pistol grip since HB1240 passed. However the other day at a Bi-Mart near me I saw a shotgun with a pistol grip. Has this rule been overturned on shotguns or was it never a thing? I have not been able to find a straight answer online. Thanks!

Alot of people seem to think there's a ATF personnel for every single one of us. Have fun, that's all that matters.

That is interesting. I know the law was written VERY poorly. When it first went in and someone would ask about gun xyz, what I started doing was looking at my favorite distributor to see what they were still selling here and what they had listed as "no more". The Semi shotties with pistol grips were on the "no" list while the same model without was on the "ok" list. Was the shottie you saw by chance a pump? Wonder if this would make the difference??

The ATF doesn't care. Thats a state thing.

Thats what i mean. This state will let you go into someone's property with a axe, threaten them with it and release the person the same day. Not very wise to take advice from this state lol.

Semi auto pumps are bad with a grip. Semi auto without a grip, not bad. Pump action with grip, not bad. Make sense? No, but then neither do the democrats who pass this garbage.

My point is that pistol grips on shotguns isn't a federal thing. It has nothing to do with the ATF . They could care less. Thats a state prohibition.

I believe it was a pump. That was the only thing I could think is that semi shotguns are not allowed to have it. But i have not seen any with a pistol grip. That was the first time I had seen one in months.

Okay that would make some sense. Like you said it is garbage and makes sense I was just trying to get an idea on the legality. Thank you
