Risky shotguns, a few loaded (6)
I believe the answer is:
unsafe
'risky' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'shotguns a few loaded' is the wordplay.
'UNSAFE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unsafe that I've seen before include "Hazardous" , "Not reliable, dangerous - perhaps a legal conviction" , "Unreliable" , "Dangerous - legally without basis" , "Perilous" .)
