What are the safety precautions on handling shotguns proposed by the NRA in Alabama and every other state, territory and possession in the U.S.?
Are there any specific guidelines for loading and unloading shotguns?
Yes, the NRA also recommends keeping the shotgun's action open when not in use, and only loading the gun when you are in the field and ready to shoot. When unloading, point the gun in a safe direction and remove the shells from the gun and magazine.
