VerifiedOwning a sawed off shotgun (I'm assuming you are referring to a pistol shotgun with a short barrel known to the FBI an ATF as an AOW or Any Other Weapon) without a tax stamp is federal crime. You need to not speak with anyone about this, turn off your phone, and not communicate with anyone at all until you get a criminal law attorney. This a very serious situation.
