It depends on what you mean by "a little bit." If you mean that there are a few tiny bits of lint visible in the bore, as in small fibers clinging to the bore wall, then yes, it's safe to fire. If you mean that there's a "little bit" the size of a mouse, then no, do NOT fire it.

Either way, wisdom falls on the side of safety, and I'd recommend that you clean the bore before firing the shotgun. ANY obstruction in the bore is a potential problem.

Why do gas dryers cause more fires than electric dryers?

The main risk of fire from home dryers (and commercial dryers for that matter) is from the accummulation of LINT inside the ductwork. Gas dryers vent through the same pipe as the lint, and the gas flame provides a source of ignition. As a result the risk of fire with a gas dryer is much higher than an electric dryer, according to the nfpa. Electric dryers can still cause fires, but the vent has to be significantly obstructed before enough heat is generated to start a fire. The extended drying times that result from an obstructed vent usually cause people to get the dryer repaired before it reaches the point it could start a fire.
