    Wondering what your advice on that would be?

    There you go muddying the water. Where's that info on overall length again?

    The OP mentioned measuring and mentioned the brace set in a certain position, but there's more to it than that...

    If you're over 26" from the end of the buffer tube to the end of the barrel threads, vfg is gtg. It becomes a "firearm" a la mossberg Shockwave and isn't a pistol, but not a rifle either. It's like a 3rd gender for guns.

    That also means you can't conceal it (in your vehicle, slung under a jacket, etc) or carry it loaded in your car.

    You're right. And my post was an over simplification due to my laziness. I feel like a broken record on this subject though haha! But this subject is one of my favorites. I'd be glad to clarify any questions in this regard though to the best of my "not a legal expert" experience if need be.

    You can have it loaded in a vehicle in PA, im pretty sure the PSP clarified this, I'd have to find a reference to back this up however. The AOW wording only says it becomes an AOW if "concealed ON ones person". A hand carried range bag should be fine, a backpack on your back probably not. I'm also not aware of a technical definition for "concealed on ones person".

    There really are a lot of legal nuances regarding "pistols" as we know them today and not a comprehensive source on the forum. I spent a lot of time searching and reading on this subject and the information is scattered and convoluted at times. Would be a great opportunity for someone to make a sticky post about "pistol and title 1 firearm other do's and don'ts" in relation to what's allowed federally and within Pennsylvania to clear up a lot of the confusion and misinformation.
    And no, I don't want to be that person to make it haha.

    That'd be a damn good way to fight the ban...

    Im sorry, I dont understand your question. Trump banned bump stocks on his own. Ive heard similar discussions from politicians about pistol braces. That was my point. Not sure what yours is.

    His point, as far as I can tell, was that you said you wouldn't recommend buying one because there's talk of a ban.

    He sarcastically made the same point about "guns in general".
