Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Weapons
Defendant was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of three counts of unlawful use of weapons. Stipulated evidence failed to prove Defendant guilty of the charged offenses. "Overall length" of shotguns should have been measured by length of a straight line between two farthest points on the gun. Flash suppressor at end of rifle's barrel should have been included in measurement of barrel's length, as flash suppressor is a functional component of gun through which bullet passes when gun is fired. (HARRIS and HOLDER WHITE, concurring.)
