Then, he/she cites this:

The Mossberg Shockwave has a barrel length of 14". Accordingly, with a barrel of less than 16" long, it is considered a "Sawed-off firearm" under Ohio Law. In Ohio, there is no barrel length exception, even with an overall length of 26” or greater.


Stopped paying attention after that misstatement, which constituted the first two paragraphs of Sean's legal opinion. Thanks for trying . . .
I saw the "supposed error" in the interpretation also, BUT since the gun is not an SBS or AOW under BATFE rulings this week he's trying to revert to the 16" for the firearm. Then he has the whole phrase in about the law not being interpreted to an absurd result and taking common accepted definitions so that puts it right back in the shotgun category as far the state is concerned. Finally, we have all the OR's which pretty much turn the whole thing into a nope show catch all. Two out of three nopes is bad.
