Anytime it is legal to use a shotgun. If you mean a gun set to shoot an animal to kill it vice capturing it, you need to check the local laws however I believe that it is no longer legal in most places. If you mean a gun set to shoot an intruder or burglar, I am real sure that it's not legal in the US and will get you a stiff jail term if someone is hurt.

Is the Winchester Model 12 Trap with Vent rib a solid gun to buy for beginning shooting?

I would say yes. If it is a trap gun, then it will more than likely be ideal for trap shooting. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a trap gun until I was sure that I was commited to trap shooting, because you really can't use a trap gun for field applications. If you are a beginner, I would just use my field gun that you probably already have until you get the idea and figure out if trap shooting is something that you like to do. Also, if the gun that you are talking about is a pump, then I, personally, would consider a breakaway. That's just my personal preference. I've never used a pump shotgun for trapshooting, but if I did, I'm sure that I would get tired of the pumping into my hand. A breakaway or semiauto is just so much easier to use. If you're going to be involved in trap shooting, then by all means get it if you want. Have fun!

Why buy a field shotgun vs a trap shotgun?

Trap shotguns are only used for trap shooting and should only be bought if you are really into trap shooting (or have too much money =] ). Field guns can be used for both field and trap applications. However, field and trap guns aim differently. Trap guns are easier to use for trap, and I'm not sure on the other way around. My advice is to by a field gun to use for both uses. That's what I did, and I get great trap scores. If I had an extra $2 or 3 thousand, I would by a trap gun because they work better for trap, but I don't =).

Are Baikal 20 gauge shotguns good for trap shooting?

yes it is good for a beginner i just purchased the Remington spartan 20 gauge shot gun for some light trap shooting and pheasant hunting this is the perfect gun and cant be beat for the price.
