Beretta Px4 Storm has both 17rd and 10 round so is it an "assault rifle" or a handgun?

Has not been labeled assault yet.

In the future they will label it assault and ban it, like they did with the rifles. Give it some time, they have it all planned.

Quote

As this Court explained in its prior decision, “[a]rtificial limits will eventually lead to disarmament. It is an insidious plan to disarm the populace and it depends on for its success a subjective standard of ‘necessary’ lethality. It does not take the imagination of Jules Verne to predict that if all magazines over 10 rounds are somehow eliminated from California, the next mass shooting will be accomplished with guns holding only 10 rounds. To reduce gun violence, the state will close the newly christened 10-round ‘loophole’ and use it as a justification to outlaw magazines holding more than 7 rounds. The legislature will determine that no more than 7 rounds are ‘necessary.’ Then the next mass shooting will be accomplished with guns holding 7 rounds. To reduce the new gun violence, the state will close the 7-round ‘loophole’ and outlaw magazines holding more than 5 rounds determining that no more than 5 rounds are ‘suitable.’ And so it goes, until the only lawful firearm law-abiding responsible citizens will be permitted to possess is a single-shot handgun. Or perhaps, one gun, but no ammunition. Or ammunition issued only to persons deemed trustworthy.”

Seriously,  Does any firearm owner in Illinois trust the legislative body anymore? If you do, I have a bridge I can sell you.

It's a handgun that can't leave the house with the 17 round magazines loaded. I have 15 round mags coming.

 

VooDoo

Not here or there, but something a passing thought (not pistol) many shotguns have threaded barrels for chokes. NFN, I just wanted to toss that out there.

[GunCollector]

I have a question on barrel shrouds…does it cover rifles such as a Garand with a wooden hand guard that encircles the barrel and allows the user to carry the firearm without burning their hands?

That's the difference between internal and external threads.

More importantly, many popular semi-auto shotguns (Rem. 870 & others) are OK with regular shells (2.75 - 3.5").  BUT - if you load minishells into that same gun, it is now considered an "assault weapon" simply because you can put more than 5 minishells in the gun.

But a 7+ round pump is okay?

From what I understand from Todd's videos - MAYBE.  Semiauto shotguns are limited to 5 rounds.  If you have a one of those mag tube extensions, it has to come off.  And a shotgun like that Keltec with the twin magazine tubes is also banned.

I'm not so sure about that - it's a pump not a semi-auto.

I would argue if the barrel says '2 3/4 inch shells' its not your fault if the wrong ammo works in it........at that rate a 50bmg can chamber in a 12ga but I wouldn't recommend it.

Really?  I don't know much about them but I thought it was SA.

That would be cool...

Interesting point,

Could it also be said that 4.5 inch shells, if they exist (Or maybe there is extra wading), in a shotgun that holds 5 3.5 inch shells, now only holds 3 x 4.5" shells? Shouldn't that be a legal configuration?

If what I've heard is correct as I believe it to be, just having those minishells in the magazine with more than 5 total is enough to have the 870 deemed as an AW.

Whether or not the gun can function with those shells is "immaterial and irrelevant".

This is how a person can tell ISP is lying. That language would have "affidavit", were it true. Since they technically can't disclose FOID/CCL Information, this is where you arrive at the hunch that it's nothing but a LIE.
