According to the BATF you can own a "Short-Barreled Shotgun". You must either: (1) By transfer after approval by ATF of a registered weapon from its lawful owner residing in the same State as the transferee. (2) By obtaining prior approval from ATF to make NFA firearms. [27 CFR 479.62-66 and 479.84-86 ] A $200 tax stamp must be paid to the BATF NFA division. All info from the BATF website.
(in the US) No, not unless the barrel(s) is/are less than 18 inches in length, or if it's a National Firearms Regulated Destructive Device, such as a shotgun capable of firing in full auto, or a type with a fixed magazine of more than 10 rounds, which makes it classed as a destructive device.
In the US, a shotgun that has a barrel less than 18 inches, or an overall length less than 26 inches is regulated under the 1934 National Firearms Act. To legally possess one, you must be 21 yrs old, and not prohibited from owning a gun. The transfer of the gun to you must be approved by the Federal Dept of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, and you will need to pay a $200 one time tax to them. Legally this is an SBS, or Short Barreled Shotgun. There must be no law in your state that prohibits owning such a gun. There are a few guns made as shotgun pistols, and they are in a separate class called AOWs, with a $5 tax. Possession of an UNREGISTERED Short Barreled Shotgun is a serious crime (10 yrs in Federal prison, and $10,000 fine)
You don't. Washington does not require registration.
No.
You have to register any gun in the United States of America. You do not have to register a shotgun in Texas. The other person who answered may have have been thinking of the procedure when you purchase a gun. If you move to Texas and take your shotgun with you I don't think there is any requirement that you register the shotgun when you get to Texas. We took some guns out of Texas to Grand Cayman on a yacht. We register the guns with US customs before we left.
It depends on where you are. In most U.S. states, you don't have to register any guns. If you are unsure, check with a local gun dealer.
There is no requirement or provision to register a shotgun in PA
Sometimes yes, sometimes no; contact your local police.
If you mean ca as in Canada, please clarify, and I will be happy to explain the process.
A Street Sweeper shotgun is a Destructive Device under FEDERAL law. If not already registered, you cannot register it. These are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
To give you a short answer- you don't. Like MOST US States, there is no requirement or provision for you to register an ordinary rifle, shotgun or handgun with anyone. If you buy a gun from a dealer, the dealer will make a record of the purchase (a form 4473) which is retained at the dealership.
No, but hand guns and assault rifles you do
You are not required to register your shotgun. In fact the California Attorney General says: "California law does not require persons moving into California report rifles or shotguns. One important thing to be aware of though is that certain rifles and shotguns may be defined as 'assault weapons' in California and are prohibited from entering this state under most normal circumstances. Additionally, machine guns and ammunition feeding devices with the capacity to accept greater that 10 rounds may not be transported into California." http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/ab991.php --- this link takes you to it. If you do have a handgun you are required to register it within 60 days.
Yes, there is a 5 dollar tax and it as classified as an AOW (Any other weapon), register it with ATF, and depending on the state there is 150-200 dollar "paperwork" fee
