Locking Of A Shotgun

November 26, 2011
What is the meaning when someone says LOCKING OF A SHOTGUN? This a question on the STATES TEST
Suzi

Response - Suzi,
Sorry, I have never heard of it.
I don't know that much about shotguns but I am also surprised to see that the term "locking of a shotgun" can't be found anywhere on the internet (via Google search), especially if it is on a test. Good luck.
Tanner

Reply - Tanner, thank you very much for your help. Suzi
