I use locks.. you don't need..

But to be safe.. in this state. I lock them during travel and home...

I got called on.. it's a story.. it was a call.. I got arrested and then they take everything... muzzleloader too and I was missing knifes.. cases ammo and all

Handgun I put in the draw. I didn't think they were coming in and I didn't want it on me. So in the bedroom dress er and then met them at the door.... yup that's improper storage.. I took the misdemeanor..

I had it in my pocket I should have kept it on me I was LTC

I COULD have use a better lawer. She was no good I wasn't happy. They didn't have a warrent but claimed my wife's permission. They told my wife they had a warrent to search..

You might get nothing back.. small claim..

It's not fun, that was 6 years ago..

I wouldn't share that normally.. I don't like to talk about that.. but you should know

Be Safe... they take them all. Everything

I want to bring this up with this double barrel hammer...

First time using it for Pheasant I noticed.

I cocked both hammers.. got the bird with one..

Between the dog and bird and all.

I forgot to let the other hammer down and noticed after reloading. Like wow No..

I use one barrel... if I need the other I cock when ready... I don't go in on a bird with both barrels there is no need.
Could have been very serious!! Good item to point out so we can all think safe.
WTG on the bird!

I was homeless. I had mom.. but not my wife and kids.. dcf didn't allow me home for a year..

All because of a call. It wasn't true.

They were not happy about anything us.. i didn't see it coming i didn't know they wanted us out, I kinda thought they liked us.

i walked home in socks from the station to get kicked out by dcf.

Don't live in a condo. I didn't like that.

We moved since you know?

I've met people who have had that happen to or somethinglike that.. not just me.

That's how you get attacked these days... they call

That's why the biker guy here just moved he has kids... crazy guy call n dcf cuz of the bikes.

I like it here I don't want to move but I don't like this guy over there

Don't... "Do not" say anything under arrest, just shut up.. there not telling you why and there not letting you put on shoes. you'll find out when they put that paper in your face... just the way it is..
You look bad on video "stupid".. they know that, they use it.

It's PTSD something there? Just Be Safe. It's not easy to talk about.

I've never had a problem with cocking both barrels when hunting upland birds. No more dangerous letting that hammer down on the second barrel than it would be letting the hammer down on the one barrel and you chose not to fire for whatever reason.

I never used hammers before then really. So I needed a system to learn. That's what I came up with.. one at a time use both reload both

Don't load without de capping. That works good to I like that one. i can start that uncapped and reload the empty side.

I met a guy carrying open empty modern to be extra safe. He fell once... I was like ooo

Vinny old man.. he had a old double that if you Banged the thing both barrels go off... but if the safety is on it wouldn't do that. He showed me that and was like that"s why safety.

He did it like that so you remember. Said it was a better way. Said I'm no the one to tell you.. I'll show you
 
My dog is good.. I can leash her to load too.. I can ignore her and load.

She sent one one day while loading.. both gone.. i was calling a little but new she was full throttle... when I finished loading she was on the way back with it
 
God gave you two barrels for a reason. If you miss the first, or second bird. If there is some other misfortune. When you are done for the day just fire off the second barrel. Clean and lube the gun and put it away unworried about a forgotten load.

I pull the wads with a cork screw attached and save the shot. dump it in a cup.. it adds up.

It's not worth a co2 discharge thing.. to fancy.
