Thumbs up Inherited an old Parker and it's loaded!

Hello All.

Newbie to Parker shotguns and just inherited Great Grandpa's old shotgun.
I eased the loading rod down the barrel and it shows a load is still in both barrels.

Reading posts has everything from soaking, compressed air, grease guns, to "Oh my buddy just set it off!!!"

For those experienced in getting an old muzzle loading shotgun unloaded, what is my safest bet for getting my wall hanger into a safe condition? My guess is this firearm has been loaded for over 50 years.

I have multiple black powder arms, so do understand the volatility of black power.

Thanks,
William
