Bad idea.....
First, a while back I had to examine an agency 870 that had been dropped 20 feet onto concrete from a tower.
These were kept safety on, action locked closed on an empty chamber,magazine full.
I've heard of some moronic gun policies before, but that would be towards the top.
Sorry, Elmer, most prison systems and police depts do this, to prevent NDs by semi trained and unmotivated personnel.Relatively few Cops and COs are "Gun People".
If one knows the drill and has practiced, time from start to shot is less than one second.
Try Safety on, chamber empty and no magazine with a Beretta M9 that some Military bases require.
There are a number of DAO-triggered shotguns available currently
What kind of bizarre agency would keep their 870's on safe with an empty chamber?
