Be undead

The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

Oc, I'm unsure what that

Oc, I'm unsure what that piece is called, but I know the part you mean. Mossbergs have a safety located on the "tang" of the gun, which is operated by the thumb of the strong hand. I vastly prefer it to the 870 safety located on the trigger guard. My primary home defense gun is an 870 HD, and I don't like the idea of having to fumble with a fine motor skill (disengaging the trigger guard safety) in the event of a crisis. Of course I have other options, but none that mesh well with leaving the gun out when guests come over. I don't want a non-gun savvy guest to be able to pick up my shotgun and immediately discharge it, even if it would be total lunacy for someone to do that. Not keeping a round chambered also brings a fine motor skill into a crisis situation through the loading process. I suppose that's why I have a pistol as my backup home defense weapon, and a few more weapons further back on standby in case of zombie hordes.

Slayer: That's cause brass balls require bigger clubs... and only a gifted few boast the required equipment.
