I have a mossberg 12ga turkey gun...nice camo all over, fiber optic sights, short barrel, full choke.
It's my only shotgun. I've carried it in the field but never shot a turkey with it (damned elusive little creatures that they are).
Next week I'll be working on a site security detail at a hospital in Louisiana. My boss there has assured me that it is safe, there's nothing going on there, the danger has passed and our presence is really just to reassure the DRs and nurses.
I'd still feel better on duty carrying the shotgun, even though I haven't really trained with it.
I have a sling and figure it'll carry similarly to the M4 that I have trained with (but don't have one to take with me): I know how to keep it safe, how to move with it, etc.
Being sort of unfamiliar with shotguns and chokes and all: is it OK to shoot 00 buck through the turkey (full) choke? What about slugs?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, I have a decent amount of training with the .45 and carbine...but have only used shotguns for fun to date.
