Digest
HB 2882 amends the Texas Penal Code to clarify that a handgun equipped with a stabilizing brace does not qualify as a short-barrel firearm under state law. Under current law, rifles with barrels shorter than 16 inches and shotguns with barrels shorter than 18 inches are classified as short-barrel firearms, which are subject to additional restrictions. The bill explicitly excludes handguns with stabilizing braces from this classification, ensuring that they are regulated the same as standard handguns.
