An important video that demonstrates the need to test all safeties and properly load, unload and test fire all firearms before use. Do this at the range for every firearm you purchase new or used, never take for granted that everything works or is in good condition!

This guy's brand new Winchester SPX pump shotgun had a safety failure and would fire with the safety on and without pulling the trigger. As soon as a shell was loaded from the magazine into the receiver the gun went off. I learned this lesson the hard way as a kid with the exact same type of safety failure. Luckily no one was killed or injured. This video shows how important it is to continually test all safeties on range and insure everything is working properly.
