Tootsie II Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Can any of you knowledgeable guns owners confirm something for me. In Ontario, if I was keeping an old pump shotgun in camp to "protect" against predatory wildlife (eg: black bears) and I was not hunting with that gun, can I remove the wood plug in the magazine so that it will hold 4 shells instead of only 2. And, no I don't leave it lying around without a trigger lock on it or with shells in either the chamber or mag. I've learned to unlock and load damned quick if I have to.

BillM Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Yup, shouldn't be an issue. If you are hunting, you are restricted to 3. Edited May 16, 2013 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 no problem at all. So long as you are not hunting with the shot gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 My 870 can hold 7... And it was bought that way from BPS, and did not even come with a plug to make it legal in Ontario. When using it hunting, I remove the extended mag, put a normal one on, with a plug. Not 100% sure of the legalities when not hunting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just remember that you will need to explain it to a Co that you are not using it for hunting. Legal yes, but a conversation I wouldn't want to have. I plug all my shotguns and forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobogo Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 yup, that legal as long as you're not roaming the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Landry Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 there is no mag capacity restriction for a pump shotgun. You're fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yep, giver. I take the plug out of mine any time I'm not hunting. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) there is no mag capacity restriction for a pump shotgun. You're fine! Pretty sure there is !!!! one in the barrel and two in the magazine. When hunting!!! Edited May 16, 2013 by wallyboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Correct shotguns can only hold a max of 3 shells when hunting including the chambered round. Pump or semi doesn't matter. That us one of the many laws that really bothers me. When deer hunting you can have a 10 round lever gun but only a 3 round shotgun. So dumb.

Bill Shearer Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Remington 870 and 1100, only held 5. Winchester Model 12 and 97 held 7. Could have lots of fun with a handful of well thrown clay targets and a good shooter. Anybody remember the old Winchester Pro Shooter films at the Sportsmen Show, back in the day? The guy could throw 7 clay targets BY HIMSELF, and then hit every one before they hit the dirt. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
