Winchester 1300 Defender for hunting?
« on: February 06, 2004, 04:19:22 AM »
I am in the process of purchasing a 1300 Defender from someone privately, and was wondering if these are legal for hunting? If not, what would it take to make it legal? I thought with the synthetic stock, pistol grip, etc. it would be a great gun for coyote in close quarters? Thanks for any help or info you might have.

Oh and by the way, I reside in The Peoples Republic of Hellinois  :twisted:

A close friend of mine uses one for deer hunting here in ohio, the only restriction here is you are only allowed 3 shells in the gun at a time,so you have to use a plug.

You need to check local regulations, though it more than likely is perfectly legal.  Here in SC the only laws we have for a shotgun come into play when hunting migratory birds, and that is that you have to plug to no more than 3 rounds capacity and use no larger than 10ga (you'd have a hard time finding an 8ga anyways :)).  Other than that if it's legal to own, it's legal to hunt with. Still, check the local regs to be safe.
