What type of weapon possession is classified as a Class A Misdemeanor in Texas?

  1. Machine Gun

  2. Throwing Stars

  3. Short-Barrel Firearm

  4. Chemical Dispensing Device

The correct answer is: Short-Barrel Firearm

In Texas, possession of a short-barrel firearm is classified as a Class A Misdemeanor. This is due to the serious nature of possessing such a weapon, as short-barrel firearms are regulated under state and federal law because of their potential to cause harm. Possessing a machine gun, throwing stars, or a chemical dispensing device would result in more severe penalties as they are considered more dangerous or destructive weapons, hence they are not classified as Class A Misdemeanors in Texas.
