There is usually a screw on the top of the receiver in front of the hammer or a pin through the side of the receiver holding the firing pin in.

TAKE IT TO A GUNSMITH!Seriously. Without being able to examine the weapon, there isn't a person in their right mind who would even ATTEMPT to diagnose the issue. It could be any NUMBER of things, from firing pin to springs to trigger or even ammunition. Until you have that weapon checked out by a licensed gunsmith it should be considered unsafe.

Close, but no cigar. Your Montgomery Ward's shotgun Model 6OOERI is the Remington model SPT 58. You can get the firing pin from gunpartscorp.com for $12 plus hipping. It is part number 100170D.
Probably nothing initially for a few times, but if you repeatedly do this, you may eventually wear out the spring that activates the firing pin or have the firing pin release too far out. There are devices called "snap caps" that fit into the chamber of the barrel and allow you to pull the trigger and release the firing pin into a small spring loaded portion of the snap cap. This is the best way to store your shotgun, with a snap cap in place and the trigger pulled releasing the firing pin into it.
