Bolo rounds sitting in a drawer are O.K. in this scenario here in Florida, but load those Bolo rounds into a firearm & you have an instant felony of the 3rd degree, whether you use/fire the gun or not. That's the law in Florida. What I am saying is , look up the statutes in your state. Bolo rounds are not worth the trouble they can cause.

I will just stick to #4 buck or birdshot don't need any legal trouble.

I've got a 12 gauge Winchester model 1897 riot gun, with 00 buck. I keep it locked up and just depend on whatever carry gun I have on me on a given day. I could visualize coming home to an intruder and I wouldn't want him to be pointing that thing at me.

I have my first Wilson on the way. Very excited, it is my 60th birthday present to myself. It is used but has almost every addition that I was going to order, except for night sights, but has a gold front bead and I was waivering between that and night sights. Also has the carry cuts that I was not going to order. About a thousand less and 12 months sooner than I expected. Can't wait.

good point I don't want my shotgun pointed at me by an intruder. That is why I need a carry gun. Hard to get a permit for in New York state. I don't even live in NYC.

Come down to OK or TX, we are gun friendly unless you are a bad guy...then we are lead friendly My ex-wife was from a suburb of NYC, nice state as long as you are upstate (except for the Neanderthal gun laws)...but you can keep NYC & it's traffic, not my cup of tea.

Adding a couple photos of the one that's coming.
