What's the call.

Shooter brings unloaded 97 shotgun closed, hammer down, to staging table. Stage DQ or Miner Safety ?

 Thanks

A shotgun is considered SAFE for movement (in hand, while moving through a stage) in the following conditions only:
   - Action open, round in chamber or on carrier.
 - Hammer(s) fully down on an empty chamber(s) or expended round(s), action closed.

 

has to be staged open.

 

no call

If he has brought it from the LT, to the line, no penalty, yet.

Thank you, that is what I thought, you would ask him to open the action if no rounds found, no call.

No - you wouldn't ask him for a rifle either.

Rifle regs are different than shotgun regs for a number of reasons.
Number ONE being that rifles are LOADED coming from the LT... shotguns are NOT.
