Can you own a short barrel shotgun in Washington?

Answer 1

You can own a short barrelled shotgun anywhere. The question is, do you have a license for an AOW (any other weapon) or a Class 3 license. That is the only way to own a short barrelled shotgun. To be termed a short barrelled shotgun, the barrel length has to be less than 18 inches when measured from the chamber (on a closed bolt) to the end of the muzzle.

Washington Will NOT allow a Shot Barreled Shotgun they Are reguired to be Destroyed the gun if a Police agency Takes control on the Gun look up Washington Wacs. Best thing to do is detroy the Short Barrel and look for a Legal Lenght Barrel to replace it. Try a gunbroker or online.
