You will try dry firing the gun first and then see if the barrels will unhook. Some guns are just like that. If not, then a good cleaning will most likely do the trick and that unhooking slide can get gummed up easily. Or the sping in the slide could be broken.
Either way, if the barrels cannot be unhooked, then minor surgery will be required to get them off. If you are not comfortable with taking a Parker apart, then send or take the gun whole to a gunsmith who is.
Safety not wanting to move is just gunk. Either in the button/slide area of in the safety jacket assembly.
Congrats on your first Meriden Gun!
