All 10 guns I own (rifles, shotguns, MLS) will go on safe whether they are ****ed or not. Only reason I asked. Well, that and I am trying to teach him to always keep it on safe until he is ready to fire it and he looks at me and says it won't go on safe. I personally think it sucks to teach him gun safety and shooting with these guns because the safety function confuses him sometimes. Now that I know for sure that they are designed this way I can explain to him about the action of the guns and why he can and can't put it on safe at times.
Thanks for the input.
