If that is a double trigger gun the Ithaca three position safety works like this. In the "center" position the gun is on "safe". In the forward position the gun will "fire" and the safety will return to the middle or "safe" position when you open and cock it. If the safety is put in the rear position and fired the "automatic safety", that is the safety returning to the middle position is disabled and it stays off "safe" when cocked and will fire until you manually put the safety in the middle position again.
