We have covered it before but need to cover it again. Yes, it is safety flags. Safety is something you need to think about every time you are handling a firearm, whether on or off the range.
Almost all firearms sold by manufacturers today are sold with a safety flag. That is encouraging. The discouraging part is that these flags are not always used, and many are lost. Safety flags should always be used unless actually shooting. If the firearm will not fit into the gun case with the flag in, then leave it inside the case next to the firearm.
Chamber View: The Chamber View 3-Gun Safety Kit allows the competitor to easily show that the firearms are open and unloaded. It enhances the safety of the shooter by aiding against accidental closings of the action. It also helps preserve firearm performance by preventing elements from contaminating the ejection port, magazine, and barrel. Made of ultra-durable silicone in highly visible Hunter Orange. The one shown in the photograph is for the shotgun and works extremely well. Check them out at:

General Chamber Safety Flags:
There is a significant variety of chamber safety flags available. Check out Brownells, Midway USA, and Amazon. They are inexpensive and can make a real difference. They make it very obvious there is not a round in the chamber. Most of them can be used for any caliber or firearm.
Keep your family safe with safety flags!
Personalized Safety Flags – Making safety flags “cool” is a great incentive for people to use them. Junior Shooters magazine is a huge proponent of using safety flags. These flags from Sterling White are fully functional and the large fabric that is personalized really stands out. They are effective and fun. They are also “Way Cool!” Contact: Sterling White CONTACT INFO: http://www.plugrusa.com
- When stored. When you take a firearm out of the safe to show someone, put it in a gun case, or clean it, you can immediately see the flag and know it is safe.
- When put in the gun case. (When a gun is taken out of the case there should be a flag in the chamber.)
- At the range. A chamber safety flag should be inserted into the chamber immediately after shooting. This means that long guns (rifles and shotguns) should have a safety flag in them when they are in the rack.
