Gun laws vary by state. In many states, shotguns can be purchased without a permit, but background checks are often required. For state-specific laws, visit the ATF website.

It depends on your use. Common shotgun shell types include birdshot (for hunting birds), buckshot (for defense), and slugs (for precision). Check your shotgun’s chamber size and intended use before purchasing ammo.

Regular cleaning is essential. Use a cleaning kit, lubricant, and follow manufacturer guidelines. Visit our blog for tutorials on shotgun care and maintenance.
