    Not a problem. Heaps around this area have the 410 and fire soilds for pig hunting with dogs. Makes a great bail gun. DOC dont just start court action without some common sence involved. The no shotgun, rim rifle is so you dont go and blown away native birds etc and small game(unless you have a small game permit, no native birds thou lol) My old man used to go out with a bruno single shotgun firing soilds for deer , he had no problem after running into doc in doc land. if you get caught with bird shot etc then you have a problem.
    DOC arent going to blink a eye if you pig hunting with dogs and got a 410 as a bail gun and only have soilds on you. Wouldnt waste my time using one for deer etc, too many far better cals to use but for a bail gun they pretty darn good.
    The fact is believe it or not the rules are to stop certain forms of hunting and if its clear that you not breaking them because you got a 410 in the bush to shoot pigs of the bail and no evidence otherwise no way are DOC and anyone in power going to waste their time trying to argue that in "theory you breaking your permit". There is a thing as common sence and all the DPOC people ive run into havnt even asked if i had a permit and most wouldnt even know what Cal you have and wouldnt even ask.
    Put it this way, if using a 410 for a bail gun no problem in a million years, For anything else why the hell would you use one for deer or anything else as they only good for a very short range and theres so much better out there and you dont have to worry about any DOC people getting involved. Because it seems so unsuitable compared to what you could use (other than bail gun cause its perfect)some DOC people may find its hard to believe thats your only intention and even so if you only have soilds on you i doubt you getting the book thrown at you.
