Shouldered pistols are the new Schrodinger's Cat

#SchrodingersPistol
I've got a Draco AK pistol with an SB47 brace, and it's my understanding that it's legal to own & fire one as long as I don't shoulder it. period. There's no self defense situation that's going to override a law.
But I've always been under the impression that it IS OK to shoulder an AR pistol, as the buffer tube is necessary for operation and isn't added as any kind of stock or brace. Maybe I'm wrong, but logically I don't see the difference between the two. But the law may see my SB47 brace as something that was specifically added as a brace that MAY be interpreted as a stock.
I think the big grey area is that according to the law, it becomes a rifle when it's shouldered. Yet nothing about the pistol has changed. Something that would be difficult to prove. I'd rather not be that test case.
One thing I do know, if you send a letter to the ATF and ask if this borderline-illegal thing/weapon/posture/idea is OK, the answer will probably be 'NO'.
And if Big Brother is reading this, I never speed, and always pay my taxes on time...
Considering that using the Sig brace for a cheek weld appears to be shouldering from just a short distance away and already hearing of busybodies at ranges willing to swear it was shouldered, I don't even take it out of the case unless I am alone at my range. When all my SBRs are approved, the pistols will be no more. Well, except one spare lower just in case I feel enough threat to need inside the truck.
There's nothing defining the minimum distance the brace needs to be from your shoulder. Either you're comfortable using a brace, or you're not. Don't over think it
Or stick it in your chest.
chest =/= shoulder
:p
Pistol ARs are dumb. Never understood em. Just freakin FormX the lower and be done.
