RE: Semi or Pump??
 
I have a pumper, less weight to tote in and out, and deadly within my comfortable range with it. It has rifle style Hi-Viz fiber optic sights, and an Undertaker choke, how much more could I need?

I like a pump for one reason... SAFETY!!!!! After I shoot a Gobbler and I get a little excited and for get to put on my safety... My gun is still safe because there is no live shell in the gun...

I ran up on a Gobbler with my 11-87 once and forgot to put on the safety. I was a little scared when I relized what happened[:o]
Same here!

I use a pump considering semi-automatics and automatics are illegal in PA.

Tell me, what does a semi-auto VS a pump have to do withsafety?
If you "forget" to put on the gun's safety, it doesn't matter what gun you have???? Also safe gun handling pertains to every gun, not just pumps?

Bowhunter46,

Better take another look at the regs there in PA.

You cannot use semi-automatic (and certainly not full-auto!)rifles or pistols forbut you are able to use a semi-auto shotguns last time I checked.

You do read the regs don't you?

This isWhat I was referring to!Does your Pump chamber a round in the chamber after you fire? Do you need to put the safety on or do you consider the other two in the tube unsafe?

I can see putting the safety on when firing a Semi, but not a pump, unless you chamber another!
