I like a pump for one reason... SAFETY!!!!! After I shoot a Gobbler and I get a little excited and for get to put on my safety... My gun is still safe because there is no live shell in the gun...
I ran up on a Gobbler with my 11-87 once and forgot to put on the safety. I was a little scared when I relized what happened[

Tell me, what does a semi-auto VS a pump have to do withsafety?
If you "forget" to put on the gun's safety, it doesn't matter what gun you have???? Also safe gun handling pertains to every gun, not just pumps?[:-]
It really doesen't have anything to do with gun safty...
I cant speak for every one. But I tend to get a little excited when I shoot a Longbeard... And after me forgetting once I thought that it would be a good idea to switch to a pump...
MT I hope that I can be as safe as you are when handling a firearm from now on!!! YMH
