Cable. Welcome to the "A N Other club" it is a lifetimes free membership. You are not the only member the rest of the worlds population is with you. I did suffer badly from the "I WANT" syndrome though after close to a life time of "I want" I did manage to obtain the things that did matter a lot, I was lucky I purchased the gun I wanted in my twenties so that "I Want" was solved early on in my life though there are other things on my list.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

[quote=ellenbr]I do wonder if a Game Warden would issue a citation if one were to engage either on a Dove Shoot?
International migratory regulations between the US and Canada specify only 3 rounds in a shotgun excepting some states for spring snow geese.
If you were to only load 3 of the barrels at any one time you would be within the law. The 4th barrel would be purposeless.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Serbus,
Raimey rse They likely wouldn't even notice it had four barrels. I was shooting my 687 SPII Sporting 20 on a dove shoot once and, when checked by a warden, was asked if I had my gun plugged. I just said no. Then he looked embarrassed. Which brings up the bigger question, is it illegal to have a gun on a dove shoot that will hold more than three shells at a time, or is it illegal to have more than three in it? Not the same thing.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

'Capacity' gents. This is why there are 'duck plugs'.

'Capacity' gents. This is why there are 'duck plugs'. I thought that to be the case but what sense does that regulation make? You have a 15 bird limit on doves already. What does it matter how many shells are in your gun at any time? IMO, unplugged guns would only encourage poorer shooting than is already done by the majority of semi-automatic shooters. The result would be more wasted shells, not more doves killed. I only shoot two barreled guns when hunting, so it doesn't matter to me anyway.

At one time, it was about turning the corner from a market hunting, or slob hunting mentality, to a sporting philosophy, and limiting the capacity of the gun to more closely match the limit.
Not sure, today. My buddy has hunted deer on public ground for the last two decades near Lutsen, MN, only to find this year they (DNR) have built a fabulous mountain bike course right under his stand. He was assured he could still hunt the spot, but is wondering exactly what is the point? Do they really believe deer will hang around a mountain bike trail?
I can’t think of two more mutually exclusive purposes for public ground.
Best, Ted

Thanks Ted. Plainly put, thought control. Not that I favor market hunting being legalized, but big brother is always out to change the way of thinking of the masses to more align with their own.

Well, Stan, just collect a few more checks from ‘The Man’ and kick that revolution off. ______________________________________ Ted walks into the local spa/plastic surgery joint in Minneapolis and says, doc, make me a 10.

Stan, I think it was actually an alliance of sportsman and conservation minded government that realized the way things were going, there would be more case studies similar to the Passenger Pigeon and the American Buffalo. Things were going the wrong way at the time. Not sure magazine plugs solved anything. Just what they came up with. Thanks Ted. Plainly put, thought control.
