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[

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?

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

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!
