Ken W. asked 4 years ago:
Ken, yes this is legal in California. The shockwave is not considered a shotgun or pistol, the atf just classifies it as a firearm/other, so it has no restrictions. So it's perfectly legal. Hope this helps and enjoy.

Ken, yes Sir. It is considered a Firearm by the ATF and not Shotgun. Being a Pump, it also does not have the Semi-Auto Firearm restrictions either in CA. Cheers and stay safe!

Ken, NO, the Shockwave is not legal in CA. Under CA laws, It is classified as a SBS (firearm that shoots shotgun shells and has a less than 18" barrel length). It is one of two states where the Shockwave is illegal.
