Default NEWBIE!!! GOT SOME QUESTIONS

Hello,
I wanted to get back into hunting (I went a couple of times years ago) and I need to ask a few questions about shotguns: First what is the big advantage to a long barrel? What size should I get? If I have a barrel that has a natual tight choke do I really need a long barrel? I have an 18" barrel that can shoot 00buck about 7-10"at 25yards. Do I need something tighter than that? I guess that 2shot would be a good choice for waterfoul....how do I find out if my barrel "can take steel shot" or not? Would a factory Remington 11-87/1100 barrel do the trick? Does anyone know a good website to find out the local hunting laws of different states?...Florida and Georgia for starters. Thanks.

Also, any other advice you could think to offer would be appreciated. Thanks guys
