NY Judge ruled "Mosberg Shockwave" not a "firearm" per state law

[Edwardteach72]

William Nolan was arrested in December of 2018 for possession of unlicensed weapons; two Mossberg Shockwaves and a stun gun


A New York Supreme Court judge, however, has tossed out the charges against Nolan and ruled that under New York state law, the Shockwave isn’t actually a firearm.

Progress. I am sure the ruling will be overturned on appeal though. The Furor cannot have the courts deciding what is and is not legal in his fiefdom.

I wonder what the backstory is, the shockwave is openly sold all over NYS. Suffolk county pistol licensing bureau even typed a letter to FFL’s stating that in their opinion the shockwave was legal to own without a pistol license, and it did not meet the NYS definition of a short barrel shotgun.

Quick gulag search... Seems he's a retired NYPD IA detective with questionable mental stability. In this case, he was arrested for harassment and threats. Weapons were found during the search warrant and here we are.
