Address is invalid. But, there’s a previous thread on the increases. Keep in mind, those are just out of court set fines, without surcharges.Quote:

What find of shotgun is it? Many already have the plug in it, an easy way to check is to try to put 3 2 3/4in shells into the magazine, if you can then it is not plugged.Quote:

Nah. Not already in it. The plug I think was a yellow plastic thing in the box. Should still be in there along with 2 other chokes that I haven't played with yet either. I've already fired a few boxes of shells with the gun. It definitely takes more than 3... So I probably shouldn't be out in the woods with it this fall before I take the time to put the plug in...
I think if you porous thru the 288 fixed fines infractions listed in the Wildlife Act you soon realize that the instructors and regulations don't/didn't cover anywhere near what you can be fined for. Your better off knowing than not.
Doesn,t make sense! ???????Quote:

Get on it now so you do not forget :D
It is an 870. You are a mind reader... Ok. I'll be mindful about putting it in backwards, thanks for tip.
Ha, Ha, !:rolleye:No not stooping , it just didn't make any sense!Quote:

Here is one for you Fox: I found it interesting that when I picked up a bolt action .410 at a gun show. The vendor said something about the magazine holding 3 shells. I later discovered that he was correct. The kicker was that the gun was design such that 3rd round is chambered from the magazine. You could not slide a round into the chamber and than place three shells in the magazine, because in order to close the bolt it takes the 3rd shell in the magazine to load it into the chamber. You cannot depress three shell down into the magazine so the bolt can move over them. You can only depress shell so the bolt can move over them if there are only two in the magazine. Are C.O.’s aware of the mechanics of this action? One would hope so.Quote:

It is 3 rounds in total, if the action of the gun was so that you can put 3 in the mag but not one in the chamber at the same time then you meet the requirements, I do not see how they would or could go after you for that.Quote:

There's several semi-autos that this can be done with as well. Some call it 'ghosting' or 'floating' a 4th... not a good practice while hunting.Quote:
