Waco Jim Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Shooter with a SXS has a shotgun knock-down to make up and loads two rounds, fires one shot, knocks down the target and shucks the fired hull along with the unfired shell. Did he unload a cocked firearm? Is this a no-call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No call. Edit to add — no prohibition on unloading a cocked firearm. No different than jacking a round on a rifle string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Don't confuse the conditions for HANDLING a firearm safely with the conditions for LAYING ONE DOWN safely. One can unload any of our firearms at any time on the firing line if gun is kept pointed safely down range. Shuck shotgun shells, lever out rifle rounds, punch out of cylinder some revolver rounds - all the same. NO Call. GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 no call I do have a Pard that shucked a live shotgun round that must have hit a pebble just right. BOOM! No harm done other than to shooter’s & TO’s drawers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I simultaneously pull both triggers! Then there isn't a question about a live shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
