Why can't you put more than two shells in your shotgun?

If it has a tubular magazine, then the plug is probably inserted in there. When hunting, a shotgun is typically not permitted to be loaded with more than three rounds (including the one in the chamber), and the plug is required to ensure the shotgun is not loaded with more than that. It comes out easily enough.
