So, there's an "English" way of "properly" closing a gun? No surprise. Of course, there's a "trapshooters" way of "properly" closing a gun too... lightly cradle the forend, with the butt under the armpit, lean 100% of the body weight on the forward foot, rock back to the back foot swiftly while raising the gun to the shoulder smartly, thus allowing the weight of the barrels to snap the gun shut like your girlfriend closing your 71 Pinto door after you told her you were going hunting on her birthday.
