Check with your local provincial regs that's where the answer will be . What kind of bush do u have out your way that u need to protect your self from it .?

3 rounds max, 1 in the chamber and 2 in the mag. If you're carrying a gun out in the bush in Ontario, the MNR will simply assume you're hunting ( unless you can "prove" otherwise) and charge you accordingly.

just your typical central ontario canadian shield bush. Dense hardwood with a few pines mixed in, a ton of blue berries over one hell of a rocky terrain. Filled with all of mother nature's finest black bears, coyotes, wolves moose & deer. picked up 60+ acres that backs on to crown land in 2008. while building my tiny cabin a black bear went chasing after my dog (dog started it) to within 100ft of cabin. another time walking the bush to bait station with dog saw coyote or wolf stalking us just off my left in the bush, had my 870 and scared him off. last year while stinking like doe urine yotes followed me and my buddy back to the cabin from deer stand. Its a wild world out there.

......sounds...fun..

From the 2013 regs:

``You must plug a semi-automatic or repeating shotgun so
that it will not hold more than a total of three shells in the
chamber and magazine combined.``

... and from the fish and wildlife conservation act 1997:

(a) proof that a person possessed, in an area usually inhabited by wildlife, a firearm, trap, decoy or other hunting or trapping device, a ferret or a specially protected raptor or other bird of prey, is proof, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that the person was hunting or trapping, as the case may be;

I got checked by MNR when deer hunting if my shotgun was plugged. Needs to be plugged for any hunting in ON.

Now for the OP question unless you can prove to mnr that you are not hunting I assume they would issues ticket.

I have met some nice mnr officers but also some di__k.
Give mnr a call and present this question.

Oops wrote it wrong. Thanks for clarification.

the 3 round rule in Ontario is, quite frankly stupid. You can hunt deer with a 5 round rifle, but shotguns only seasons are limited to 3. This has to be a hangover from the the Temperance era.

 

[sunray]

Temperance has nothing to do with it. Has to do with civil servants being allowed to make laws by regulation.
The three round stuff comes from the Migratory Bird Act. However, Ontario's MNR has decided that shotguns can only have three rounds in the gun for hunting anything. Unless you're on a range, it's 3 in the gun.
