Well, it gives them an "out" to prevent the obligatory lawsuit.

BTW...Even unloaded, there's no sound scarier than that of a Mossberg 500

Thinking about this issue and our fellow CPers who are not ambulatory...do
you all worry about personal security much?  Especially those of you who
live in large cities?
