Transitioning from lethal to LL is not ideal, but it works if you have rigid adherence to verified transition procedures - which requires two officers.
Of course, dedicated is the best way to go.
In the case you mentioned, was it a dedicated LL shotgun?
I'm aware of a case where the officer verified transitioned to LL, then decided on his own that he was going to transition back, when they called for LL it wasn't available. Lady went on to suicide herself.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
