Defender question

[Macgregor]

Hey guys. I was surprised I didn't get more of a response from my question about the defender. Maybe it was the way I worded it. If I can't find the answer from the guys on this site I'm not sure I can. I have a 12 gauge defender that holds 7 shells. This is very handy on hikes when you might need protection (hopefully that never happens) but you never know. I wouldn't personally never use the gun for hunting but I know if someone did they would need a plug in it. My question is would I get nailed for illegal firearms if I was out hiking with it fully loaded. I want to get into better sheep shape pretty quick here so any info would be very appreciated.

as long as youre not hiking around ubc then no.

Yes, it is legal to carry an 'un-plugged' shotgun while NOT hunting migratory waterfowl

You are legally entitled to defend yourself from harm.

You can legally carry a firearm in the bush for non hutning purposes.

The BC regulations allow you to carry a manual repeating shotgun with as many rounds you like of single proectile ammunition, fo r bg game hunting purposes.

Slugs are far more effective than any sort of shot for defensie purposes.

I think you are good to go:lol:

Thanks guys. And no I won't be on the green trails.:lol:

Like gatehouse said, only if it's not a semi auto.

Like gatehouse said, only if it's not a semi auto.

Semi Auto centerfire rifles and shotguns are restricted to a magazine capacity of 5 rouns, per Federal firearms laws.

You can't take the plug out ,it is breaking the law. But if it were me and i was in grizzly country and had meat on my back ,sure i would pull the plug and keep it under my belt ,think about it what is the chances of a co finding you in no mans land. When you get to within 100 yards of the truck ,put the plug back in the gun. hunter 1947.

H19 - you are wrong. Regs state the facts clearly, on page 17.

Macgregor - would have responded sooner, but thought with time you may search out the info for yourself. BC Hunting Regulations cover it all (pertaining to hunting)
