Coach gun is the term used for a double barrel with barrels about 20 inches long. This is because of all the western movies that always showed the shotgun guard on a stage coach with a short barreled shotgun. History shows that they preferred longer barrels, but why let fact interfere with a good movie.

So, yes, if your law gives a minimum of 24 inches, than a coach gun would be under the limit.
