Draftclassification

DOJ’s reproduced section 5471(z) describes a grip permitting a pistol-style grasp with the web between thumb and index finger below the upper edge of the exposed trigger portion; the description includes bullpup designs. [1] Penal Code section 30515 uses this characteristic in several paragraphs, but with different surrounding conditions for rifles, shotguns and other centerfire firearms. [2] A product name alone does not supply those additional statutory elements. [2]
