I got this in mail today from the DOJ, concerning SB23. There's more at their web site if you want to check it out. If I made any typing errors feel free to correct me.

C: "forward pistol grip" means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp forward of the trigger.
D: "pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon" means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp [in which the web of the trigger hand ( between the thumb and index finger) can be placed] below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger [while firing.]
E: "thumbhole stock" means a stock with a hole that allows the thumb of the trigger hand to penetrate [into or through] the stock

A couple of notes: I still don't know what "removed readily" means.
And I checked my weapon, when I grab my pistol grip, the web of my hand is HIGHER that the top of the trigger. does this make the AR15 legal???
Tell me what you think.
