Tactical Shotguns - what do you do with them?

I carry my 14" 870 in my truck 24/7. I've used it to put down animals struck by vehicles and help myself feel more secure when caught out overnight, pretty much any time of the year.

As an aside, the mid-sized MEC snowshoe bag ($24 - 34" long) fits the 14" 870 w/Hogue short LOP buttstock perfectly. Very low-key...

ok let me ask you this, its nice that youre being humane towards animals that are suffering, but are you ever worried about a ricochet when you put one into an animal at that range? and what kind of ammo are you using for that?

is it weird i plan on practicing tactical maneuvers through my house with mine when my fiance isnt home? :D

That's nothing, I cut up a set of fatigues so I can look like I was in platoon and run around with a clear plastic airsoft shotgun because I'm not yet allowed to buy a real one.







Just kidding...maybe. ;)

You might want to read the thread on concealed weapons charges. it's a great idea, but you could get in trouble. I guess if the gun is out of sight, and in there just to protect it, you might be OK, though.

I think if he has it in his truck like that, it should be fine... my understanding of the Canadian Firearms Law is that if you're going to have it in your car "for transport", it needs to be unable to be fired, and out of sight when unattended. So, if it's in a bag in his truck, and has a trigger lock (or something similar) on it, then there's no issue.

Still, this is assuming it's a non-restricted firearm, and I don't think anyone wants this thread to go down that route...

As for my "Tactical" shotgun... it's waiting to be finished, although it will be used at the range, and at home to keep me comfort. It's also non-restricted, so it'll probably come with me in the trunk whenever I head up to Squamish/Whistler or the Sunshine Coast.
 
mine gets used for everything hunting small game,bear protection when iam out fishing camping or prospecting for minerals,use it at the range,its jut a plain fun gun to have around

You don't know what you're talking about and are way outside your lane - seriously, do some research before you basically accuse someone of criminal activity...

A non-restricted does not need to be trigger locked...
 
good to know I'll have to get some for trips out to the county.

I do enough weird things around her she's a keeper. but I think I may strap my go pro to my helmet and do operations in the house see how she reacts lol

Ah, perhaps I'm wrong... I haven't looked at the legislation in a while, but I just follow the "out of sight and unable to be fired" doctrine when transporting my non-restricted firearms. For me, that basically entails a hard-case and a trigger lock.
