most guns will not go on safe if the hammer/firing spring is down..(it was fired..)

thinking of all of my rifles and shotguns, i can say none will go on safe after they are fired until the action is worked...once you work the action back, it re-****s the hammer and the saftey will go on...

i prefer to store my guns with everything relaxed...that means dry firing them or using a snap cap...i know better than to spend money on snap caps...i make 1000x sure they are clear and unloaded and i dry fire them and put them away...only exception is rimfires which can break the firing pin if dry fired...and ive heard some olddddd guns (i want to say OLD double guns) shouldnt be dry fired...other than that, its fine...just a personal thing...i like to relax everything to take the tension off the springs when not in use.....i even take the floor plates off my mags....and i replace my mag springs pretty regular in my mags and shotguns....those "stupid little springs" can make the difference between a gun that feeds and one that doesnt...once i feel a spring is starting to loose its power, i replace it...hand gun mags that i keep loaded regularly are the ones i replace regularly...i got 6 mags and keep 2 loaded and 4 relaxed and rotate them weekly to relax the loaded ones...
