    Could a release pull trigger be considered a binary trigger--since you are shooting two shells with a single pull? could be a problem in some states

    You have to set (pull)the trigger twice for it to release twice!

    you don't have to set the trigger twice with a release/pull trigger-in Minnesota, this could be a felony due to a new law

    The Governor of Minnesota signed a law requiring tampons in boys bathrooms. Anything is possible in a state lead by that kind of politician.

    You are still pulling the trigger 2 times , one to set the the first shot and pulling for the second.

    The Browning I looked at was a pull release making it a binary trigger.

    A pull-release still requires the trigger to be pulled twice.

    Pull the trigger=bang
    Release the trigger
    Pull the trigger=set
    Release the trigger=bang

    I've never heard of, and don't believe it would be mechanically possible to make a trigger for an over/under that would fire when the trigger was pulled, then fire again immediately when the trigger is released.

    You'd have to look at the specific law, but it's likely these apply to semi-auto guns only anyways.

    If even possible yes it would be illegal. However, I have never encountered a set up that functioned with 2 shots one pull. A pull then release. Sounds like a dangerously silly concept.

    I always wondered if the inertia block on some double guns would be the equivalent of a bump stock??:):)
