Pistol Brace Protection Act: Modifying Firearm Definitions
This Act amends definitions in the United States Code (Title 18) and the National Firearms Act to exclude pistols equipped with stabilizing braces from the definitions of rifles or shotguns. According to the text, the exception applies to devices designed and intended to allow the operation of a pistol with a single hand. The Act takes effect on the date of its enactment.
Key points
Pistols equipped with arm stabilizing braces will not be defined as rifles or shotguns under federal laws (National Firearms Act and Title 18).
Documented use of the braced firearm with two hands or firing from the shoulder does not establish that the user does not intend to fire with a single hand.
The definition covers devices that are attachable to or provide support to the user's arm, allowing for single-handed operation.
