REMEMBER, FIREARMS SAFETY DEPENDS
ON YOU! THERE ARE NO “FOOLPROOF”
GUNS, INCLUDING THE TS12 Shotgun. A
SINGLE MOMENT OF INATTENTION OR A
SINGLE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
FIREARMS SAFETY RULES AND WARNINGS
CAN RESULT IN TRAGEDY. YOU ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GUN THAT IS IN
YOUR HANDS, IN YOUR POSSESSION, OR
UNDER YOUR CONTROL. FIRE- ARMS
SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU!
WARNING! Never fire your shotgun with water,
grease, excess oil, or any other obstruction in the
barrel as this could cause damage to the shotgun
and possible injury to the user. Be sure the barrel is
clear of any obstructions before shooting.
WARNING! If you experience a noticeable difference
in sound or recoil, STOP FIRING! Keep your finger off
the trigger and point the firearm in a safe area (see
definition of safe area above).
This condition could be caused by an incomplete
power burn, a cartridge with a primer but no powder
(“SQUIB LOAD”) or too little powder. The round could
possibly be lodged in the bore.
Immediately unload the shotgun and check for
unburned powder residue in the bore and the
receiver, or the possibility of a round lodged in the
bore. Remove the unburned powder before resuming
firing. If a bullet is stuck in the bore, have a qualified
gunsmith repair the shotgun. Never try to “SHOOT
OUT” a bullet stuck in the bore. Firing with unburned
powder in the barrel or a bullet stuck in the bore
could cause the barrel to explode causing serious
injury or death.
