I read the FAQ and MN statutes and the issue is still unclear. Can we get permission to own a short barrell shotgun with $200 federal tax like DD, SBR, etc?
I don't see this plainly spelled out anywhere. |

I don't see this plainly spelled out anywhere. I was told YES by an ATF Examiner. She specifically said she knows of many who have SBS's.... but, talking to several Class III Dealers... they all say NO! LOL.... nice huh? |

It's a NO go in Minnesota.

So all of the short barrel shotguns that are for sale at MWCA shows are AOWs? They can be sold, just not to civilians. "dealers and manufacturers who are federally licensed to buy and sell, or manufacture machine guns or short-barreled shotguns and who either use the machine guns or short-barreled shotguns in peace officer training under courses approved by the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, or are engaged in the sale of machine guns or short-barreled shotguns to federal and state agencies or political subdivisions;" |
