Most modern derringers (meaning the two barreled kind) have a hammer block that goes from side to side. The NAA mini's do not, they have a safety notch in the cylinder where you are supposed to let the hammer/firing pin down into for safe carry. Although safe carry and NAA mini's should never be in the same sentence.

In this day and age, I don't doubt it. I wouldn't wish the hassle on anyone.

This why I tll my students that having a CHL is a Social Resposibility, and the first responsibility we have as CHL's is to carry safely .

That being said, I had a gun shop in the mid 80's , and was sued once because an ATF agent dropped a derringer I had sold and it fired. Long story short, he claimed they did not know how to unload it ??????, and they did not have the hammer block safety on. He slid it off a pencil and missed the intended bag. He was showing it to a local LEO fingerprint guru. It shot the LEO in the groin. They sued me, the wholesaler and the manufacturer. It took about 3 years for me to get out of that one. Not sur how it ended up. Rest assured, someone will get sued on this one too.
