28-1201.
Terms, defined.
For purposes of sections 28-1201 to 28-1212.04, unless the context otherwise requires:
(1) Firearm means any weapon which is designed to or may readily be converted to expel any projectile by the action of an explosive or frame or receiver of any such weapon;
(2) Fugitive from justice means any person who has fled or is fleeing from any peace officer to avoid prosecution or incarceration for a felony;
(3) Handgun means any firearm with a barrel less than sixteen inches in length or any firearm designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand;

ATF says it's a "firearm" not an sbs and not a pistol. So far states haven't weighed in as far as I know. I kinda like that Remington version as long as its based on the tried and true 870.
RLMoeller:
That's the problem we face when definitions are not consistent.

It is not designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand is why feds don't designate, I am sure.
Mntnman:
To be honest, I think this is a perfect example why firearms laws such as these should not exist in the first place.
