Ive heard, ( not me!!!) but some dealers put the ties on loose, so people can work the action, or look down the barrel, it gets old cutting them off then putting them back on, but you gotta have the insurance, and it was at a Lincoln gun show at the fair grounds where a weapon went off and someone was hurt, I was at that show, the gun had been on the table all day long, several people had looked at it, it was empty, but then the next person, ignoring rule 1, fired the weapon,
all it could have been was someone came in the show with a shell in there pocket, and put it in the gun,
