Watching a demo of two guns and a loader aka 'two gun tango' the presenter said the 'gun' always operates the safety. The loader is not supposed to work the safety. Implication was that the gun is expected to put it on safe, which is what was done, but he did not say that, exactly. The gun is sometimes passed to the loader after a single shot, so it would dump the unfired shell if opened and passed muzzles up as they demonstrated. Shooters are in a line, the loader is behind, and the space is limited, so passing guns muzzles up through the line appeared to be the only practical safe way. Other circumstances would probably allow the guns to be loaded and passed diffently.
