RE: 3 shot plug
In California shotguns are restricted to 2 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. You can use a magazine plug to restrict it to 2 rounds but for it to be legal it has to fit into the magazine in a way that the gun must be dissassembled in order to remove it. I believe Remington makes and sells the appropriate plug and it only costs a few dollars.
