Pennsylvania SB122 amends the definition of "firearm" and limits its application to certain short-barreled firearms.
Pennsylvania SB122 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to redefine "firearm" for the purposes of sale or transfer regulations. The bill specifies that the term "firearm" applies to weapons designed to expel projectiles by an explosive, excluding those with barrel lengths over specified thresholds. The changes only apply to pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and rifles with barrel lengths under 15, 18, and 16 inches, respectively, or firearms with an overall length under 26 inches. Additionally, the bill abrogates inconsistent provisions in 37 Pa. Code.
