Best Answer

The safety in any firearm prevents the firing pin from being released, and striking the primer of a cartridge. In most shotguns, it blocks the movement of the trigger or sear. Additional safety (specially in places like shoot out events or firing range) may include: non loading of guns unless ready to fire and in the shooting booth, no pointing of gun to any person (loaded or not loaded), always point gun downwards, use safety goggles and hearing protection.
