NEVER TRUST YOUR SHOTGUN’S ME-
CHANICAL “SAFETY” DEVICE. The word,
“safety,” describes a gun’s trigger block
mechanism, sear block mechanism, ham-
mer block mechanism or firing pin block
mechanism. These are mechanical devices
that place your gun in a SAFER status. No
guarantee can be made that the gun will not
fire even if the “safety” is in the “on safe”
position.
Like any mechanical device a safety can
sometimes fail; it can be jarred or inadver-
tently manipulated into an unsafe condition.
Mechanical “safeties” merely aid safe gun
handling and are no excuse for pointing your
shotgun’s muzzle in an unsafe direction.
While it is a good idea to “test” your shot-
gun’s mechanical
“safety” periodically for
proper function, NEVER test it while your
shotgun is loaded or pointed in an unsafe
direction.
Safe gun handling does not stop with your
gun’s mechanical “safety” device. It starts
there. Always treat this shotgun with the
re-
spect due a loaded, ready-to-fire firearm.
