We are always surprised at the number of people who come to us for training who have shot for years yet don't know the correct way to handle a shotgun when they remove it from the slip. We have had guns removed from slips which have live ammo in them, and even worse they have been pointed at us.
Remember that a closed gun is ALWAYS a loaded gun. It's too late to use the excuse "I thought it was unloaded" when you have shot someone. Have a look at this video for the correct procedure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFiks_nNBsU
Remember:
1 A closed gun is a loaded gun - treat it as such
2 Don't handle someone elses gun without permission
3 Be muzzle aware, even with an open gun, and don't pass the muzzes through anyone
4 Only have a closed gun when on a stand ready to shoot
5 Don't fool about with a gun.
