The issue is not whether is can be fired or not, it is about what it is designed to do. If you look at how a rifle is defined in other subtitles and in federal law, the term "designed" is used to describe what a rifle is. The fact of the matter is that a rifle with a Law Tactical folding stock is not designed to operate semiautomatically with the stock folded. The folding mechanism of that stock does more than just fold the stock. It removes the buffer tube from its designed location/operation. Without the buffer tube, the rifle is simply not designed to operate as a semiauto. The limitation on folding stocks only applies to semiauto centerfire rifles.Well it’s still a semi auto whether it can be fired or not
Seems to me the statute makes no mention of whether it can fire or not
If my rifle has a safety on, it can’t fire either. Doesn’t change what it is
If the rifle has a folding stock, that’s a feature
Strike one, You’re out
