They're inanimate objects. Are you a liberal that thinks guns kill people on their own???  You know what I mean

The shotgun goes in a case in the back of the vehicle.
The rifle goes up front "cruiser ready." |

Your shotgun. Cruiser safe = Full mag tube, empty chamber, hammer cocked, safety on.

All the safety does on a shotgun if keep the trigger from being pressed. Serves no other purpose, so I leave mine off if the chamber is empty. Once I rack the slide but I am off target, then the safety is on. I don't know what you call this condition but it makes the most sense to me. I prefer the hammer cocked so that the slide isn't sloppy. Once you "decoct" a shotgun (press the trigger) then the slide will walk especially on a well worn or oiled pump. Keeping the hammer cocked keeps the pump action locked. It can only be un;locked again by pressing the trigger or by hitting the release bar. I see this as a safety in itself. Anyone ignorant of how an 870 work can't just pick it up and shoot it... YMMV |

I do keep a 14" 870 loaded, but it's down pretty far on the "OH FUCK!!!!" depth chart. To be perfectly honest I couldn't tell you with any certainty of its exact "condition" right now without going to the safe and looking I'm positive there's at least a full 5-round tube of 000 buck though.

I hope you guys that keep chambered shotguns in your closets understand that they bump fire easily.
The safety doesn't do a damned thing but keep the trigger from being pressed... If a chambered shotgun falls on the ground it goes BOOM, safety or not. |

I left my 11-87 with the chamber empty but the magazine tube loaded with 3 1/2" shells for a month or two in the closet. Went to chamber it one day and the shells had swollen up a little from being under spring pressure - absolutely would not chamber (these were standard plastic hull shells). Don't know if it could happen with 2 3/4 or 3" shells but that sure was an eye-opener for me. |

Cruiser safe for HH6's 500. Standard drill is to hit the bolt release, cycle the action and drop the safety when you're engaging a target.

Certainly heard a tale or two of "it just went off" but yet to seen it proven on video so just looking for some sort of documented evidence of this happening of a stock out the box mass produced shotgun on a regular basis as to substantiate "Probably" If i drop my AR on its muzzle is it probably going to go off? im not saying they wont. Ive just never heard of such a thing so if im doing something insanely dangerous i would like to find out. Cause i got a bunch of shotguns all loaded in this manner. |
