X2 Well said!!! There is no "safe direction" during unexpected discharge. Holding into the air may be safe in the imediate area, but what about a mile from the muzzle. Remington needs their b*lls busted on this one and who cares if they go broke...at least there is a chance a responsible owner would pick up the spoils. The estimate of faulty trigger mechanisms was 50,000 of the 5 million produced ...I'm not so comfortable around Remingtons as I was yesterday.
