The law reads, in part, as follows:
Sec. 24-1. Unlawful use of weapons. (a) A person commits the offense of unlawful use of weapons when he knowingly: (7) Sells, manufactures, purchases, possesses or carries: (ii) any rifle having one or more barrels less than 16 inches in length or a shotgun having one or more barrels less than 18 inches in length or any weapon made from a rifle or shotgun, whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise, if such a weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches; However what I do know for sure is that the ATF measures over all length with the stock extended. |

I thought the 26" length was related to SBRs and not regular rifles with an underfolding stock. Note the language of weapon made from a rifle and barrel less than 16"
Agreed that ATF measures with stock extended. |

I remember when Todd was NRA IL liason an effort to get that 26" OAL wording changed as part of SBR discussions but it didnt get done. That was a better time when we had a chance of getting pro 2A bills passed but now, I expect we'll have more important things to be fighting the next 2 years of the ILGA.

We're going to be on hard core defense for the first year like tyson vs peewee herman. Things will slow down because the gun grabbers will get everything they want and we will be begging for mercy. Then we will be attacked again if/when there is any sort of mass murder event, and we will be attacked again at elections so anti gun candidates can show they are tough on so called "gun violence".
