Don't Do This...

A really nice, warm weekend here.  I shot some trap for the first time in almost two months yesterday.  Shot ok, was pleasantly surprised, no flinching, no frustration, just went and shot.  Came home, cleaned up guns figured I wouldn't be back for awhile.  Backed out my choke tubes about half way so they wouldn't seize and put the gun back in the safe. 

Another nice day today, figured I would go shoot a little more.  Packed up, headed out to the club.  Got six shells into the first round and heard a weird pinging sound.  Looked down the barrel and it was almost completely obstructed.  One more shell and it probably would have shot the tube out or worse. 

Got some pliers, got the tube out and then shot some more with Light Full.  So lesson learned.  Gun is back in safe now, with choke tubes in the case.
