You may saw off a shotgun IF you apply for the federal permit First ($5), register gun, go thru 6-month wait, and fingerprinting. After approval, you may.

Otherwise; in order to be lawful, barrel must measure at least 18 inches from the crown of the muzzle to throat of the breech, and gun may not be any shorter , overall, than 26 inches in length.
