PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision.

THE COMPANY

Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of GBB Drink Lab Inc which included the blood alcohol detox drink Safety Shot, an over-the-counter drink that can lower blood alcohol content to allow recovery from the effects of alcohol at a rate faster than would occur normally. Concurrently with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company plans on rolling out Safety Shot in 2024.

Safety Shot has a well-established clinical development infrastructure and fits within the Company’s existing over-the-counter and prescription-grade health and wellness products. The Company will continue its current product lines as an operating division and is committed to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions. We take pride in our research and development of over-the-counter (OTC) products and intellectual property, which aim to address some of the most prevalent health and wellness concerns today. Our product pipeline includes a diverse range of products, such as hair loss treatments, eczema creams, vitiligo solutions, and sexual wellness products, that cater to different health and wellness needs. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific research and technology, ensuring that our products are effective, safe, and meet the highest industry standards.

To achieve our mission, we rely on a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health and wellness. Our team includes scientists, researchers, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones. We also partner with industry leaders and organizations to leverage the latest technologies and expand our reach.

We generate revenue through various channels, including the sales of our OTC and consumer products, as well as licensing royalties. Our products are available through various retailers and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to a broad customer base. Additionally, we collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, creating additional revenue streams and expanding our global presence.

We signed agreements to license JW-700 to Taisho, a $2.6 billion revenue company and Japan’s leading seller of minoxidil products. Taisho plans on launching the product commercially in 2024. In India, the Company signed an agreement with Cosmofix Technovation Pvt Ltd and Sanpellegrino Cosmetics to license its JW-700 and Photocil products. Additional licensing opportunities for these products are being pursued primarily in overseas markets.

Products Roadmap

Safety Shot plans to launch initially online and through Amazon in the near future and plans to launch in Big Box stores in 2024.

The Company is advancing several formulations to address psoriasis and vitiligo (Photocil), increase the effectiveness of minoxidil to treat hair loss (JW-700 “minoxidil booster”), women’s sexual wellness (JW-500), and jellyfish sting prevention sunscreen (NoStingz), and atopic dermatitis/eczema (JW- 110).

Photocil was launched commercially in India in Q3 2022 as a treatment for vitiligo and psoriasis. Photocil is a topical cream that works with natural sunlight to provide patients with safe and effective phototherapy at home by blocking harmful radiation and permitting the passage of therapeutic UV radiation from the sun.

NoStingz provides an effective barrier against the stinging mechanism of jellyfish cnidocyte preventing the delivery of venom to the victim. Applied like other topical sun screen products, the product is clinically proven to protect users from jellyfish, sea lice, and UVA/UVB rays.

JW-700, currently being licensed abroad and developed for US launch, the product has been clinically shown to increase the enzymes needed for minoxidil to work, sulfotransferase enzymes, by using the product topically in conjunction with topical minoxidil. Additional studies and formulation work are ongoing.

JW-500 was born out of clinical trials designed to establish a topical treatment for the restoration of nipple sensitivity for breast augmentation patients, in addition to patients who had undergone chemotherapy or lumpectomy surgery following a cancer diagnosis. During early studies, women reported not only increased sensitivity but also increased libido. The Company plans to file for a pre-IND meeting with the US FDA and seek Orphan Drug Designation. An expedited 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for development is being considered as the current formulation contains an already approved drug.

Research and Development

Our research and development team is continually looking to develop new therapeutic products, while continually improving and enhancing our existing products and product candidates to address customer demands and emerging trends. Our team is currently working to further improve the protection provided by NoStingz and develop more effective formulas for our JW-700 product .

We have conducted extensive research and experimentation involving a substantial number of subjects under the influence of intoxicants. Our findings indicate that the safety shot has proven to completely inhibit alcohol absorption. Furthermore, in diverse cases, it has demonstrated a reduction in Blood Alcohol Content, as measured by the premier Breathalyzer in the market. The observable enhancements in cognitive abilities among the test subjects have been meticulously documented.

Currently, we are actively engaged in a double-blinded clinical trial, with anticipated completion by the first quarter of 2024. The outcomes of this trial will be subjected to publication, providing comprehensive insights into the efficacy and potential of our safety shot.

Sales and Marketing

We primarily sell our products through third-party physical retail stores and partners who license and distribute them to other markets. Currently, our products are licensed for distribution in over 31 countries. The majority of our sales occur via traditional physical retailers, including their websites. We also sell via online retailers, such as Amazon and Walmart. To drive loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and sustainable growth, we invest in customer experience and customer relationship management. Our marketing investments are directed towards driving profitable growth through advertising, public relations, and brand promotion activities, including digital platforms, sponsorships, collaborations, brand activations, and channel marketing. Additionally, we continue to invest in our marketing and brand development efforts by investing capital expenditures on product displays to support our channel marketing via our retail partners.

Manufacturing, Logistics and Fulfillment

We outsource the manufacturing of our products to contract manufacturers, who produce them according to our formulation specifications. Our products are manufactured by contract manufacturers in India and the US. The majority of our products will then be shipped to third-party warehouses and to our corporate offices, which can either transport them to our distributors, retailers, or directly to our customers. Our third-party warehouses are located in the US. We use a limited number of logistics providers to deliver our products to both distributors and retailers, which allows us to lessen order fulfillment time, cut shipping costs, and improve inventory flexibility.

SRM Entertainment

On December 9, 2022, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM”) to govern the separation of SRM the Company. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of SRM and the Company. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with the Company closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM) (the “Share Exchange”). On August 14, 2023, SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

Competitive Strengths

We are committed to driving continuous improvement through innovation. Since our inception, we have made significant investments in research and development and have acquired a substantial portfolio of intellectual property, which continues to grow each year. Our commitment to innovation has allowed us to create unique products that address unmet needs in the market, all backed by rigorous clinical research. Our focus on research and development has enabled us to stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers with products that are not only effective but also innovative. We take pride in our patent portfolio and the continuous growth we have achieved, as it showcases our dedication to creating new and unique solutions for our customers. By staying committed to innovation, we are confident in our ability to meet the ever-changing needs of the market and continue to be a leading player in the wellness industry.

Recent Developments

On January 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Agreement”) with certain purchasers, for the issuance of 8,631,574 common stock warrants (the “PIPE Offering”) at a price of $0.125 per warrant, comprised of two common stock warrants (the “Common Warrants,”), each to purchase up to one share of Common Stock per Common Warrant with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, with (a) 4,315,787 Common Warrants being immediately exercisable for three years following 6 months from the closing of the PIPE Offering, and (b) 4,315,787 Common Warrants being immediately exercisable for five years following 6 months from the closing of the PIPE Offering. Concurrently to the PIPE Agreement, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “RD Agreement”) with certain purchasers, pursuant to which on January 23, 2023, 4,315,787 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $0.70 per share were issued to the purchasers (the “RD Offering”). The Common Stock was issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 28, 2022 (File No. 333-267644) and declared effective on November 9, 2022. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from both the PIPE Offering and the RD Offering were approximately $4.1 million, with the purchase price of one share, one 3- year warrant and one 5-year warrant as $0.95. The net proceeds were $3,450,675.

On March 31, 2023 the Company entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement (“FSA”) with Greentree Financial Group, Inc. to render certain professional services to the Company. In connection with the FSA, the Company issued 500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Greentree.

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with GBB Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), GBB Drink Lab Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”), 2V Consulting LLC, a Florida limited liability company, the Jarrett A Boon Revocable Trust Dated October 22, 2014, Gregory D. Blackman, an individual and Brothers Investment 7777. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer shall purchase certain assets relating to the Seller’s business for a consideration comprising of: (a) the sum of Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $200,000) (the “Cash Purchase Price”); and (b) 5,000,000 Common Shares (the “Consideration Shares” and together with the Cash Purchase Price, collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The acquisition was closed on August 31, 2023.

Intellectual Property

We filed Provisional Patent (CBD Formulations and Uses Thereof: USAN: 62/884,995) on a combination of CBD and Aspartame on August 8, 2019. The patent is to cover any products that contain a combination of CBD and Aspartame. This initially will cover the products under the CaniDermRX Brand. The provisional patent application was converted into a full US patent application (No.: 16/987,941) and PCT application (PCT/US2020/045408I) on August 9, 2020. If issued, the patent will give patent protection until 2040.

We filed Provisional Patent (CBD Sunscreen Formulations and Uses Thereof: USAN: 63/005,854) on our CBD-infused sunscreen products on August 6, 2020. The patent is to cover any products under our CaniSun product line that contains CBD. The priority date starts at the time the provisional is converted into a full patent application, which will occur on April 6, 2021. If issued, the patent will give patent protection until 2041.

We filed Provisional Patent (Oroanasal CBD formulations and uses thereof (No.: 63/042,458) on June 22, 2020. This covers the use of CBD products for the treatment of respiratory viruses.

As of the date, the Company owns two patents in relation to the over the counter drinks.

Government Regulation

Since 1937, Cannabis sativa L. has been a federally regulated Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 811 (the “CSA”), regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”).

It was not until 2014 when a distinction between the use of Cannabis sativa L. for medical, recreational, and industrial purposes was made via Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, which cleared a legal path for industrial hemp to be grown in three limited circumstances, 1) by researchers at an institute of higher education, 2) by state departments of agriculture, or 3) by farmers participating in a research program permitted and overseen by a state department of agriculture.

In 2016, the DEA, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the FDA issued a joint statement detailing the guidelines for growth of industrial hemp as part of state-sanctioned research programs. Those guidelines state that hemp can only be sold in states with pilot programs, plants and seeds can only cross state lines as part of permitted state research programs, and seeds can only be imported by individuals registered with the DEA.

We believe the recent passage of the Farm Bill will allow us to expand our marketplace opportunities. On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill”. Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, and hemp-derived CBD were classified as a Schedule I controlled substances, and so were deemed to be illegal under the CSA. With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation is broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.

Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, hemp cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC. THC refers to the chemical compound found in cannabis that produces the psychoactive “high” associated with cannabis. Any cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC would be considered non-hemp cannabis—or marijuana—under federal law and would thus face no legal protection under this new legislation and would be an illegal Schedule 1 drug under the CSA.

Additionally, there will be significant, shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture or USDA. A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act, or workplace safety plans under Occupational Health and Safety Act—both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems.

The Farm Bill outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing cannabis with more than 0.3% THC). The Farm Bill details possible punishments for such violations, pathways for violators to become compliant, and even which activities qualify as felonies under the law, such as repeated offenses.

One of the goals of the Agricultural Act of 2014 was to generate and protect research into hemp. The Farm Bill continues this effort. Section 7605 re-extends the protections for hemp research and the conditions under which such research can and should be conducted. Further, section 7501 of the Farm Bill extends hemp research by including hemp under the Critical Agricultural Materials Act. This provision recognizes the importance, diversity, and opportunity of the plant and the products that can be derived from it, but also recognizes that there is still a lot to learn about hemp and its products from commercial and market perspectives.

Overall, we believe that our sunscreen products comply with the FDA Final Rule for sunscreen products under 21 CFR 352 Sunscreen products for Over-the-Counter Human Use. Therefore, we believe that our sunscreen products fall within the FDA monograph and that FDA premarket approval and testing is not required. Our products have been tested for SPF Evaluation (SPF rating), Critical Wave Length (Broad Spectrum claim) and Water Resistance, each of which is defined within the monograph and labeled accordingly.

Our products are tested each time they are manufactured. DCR Labs manufactures our products and is compliant with the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“CGMP”) regulations in accordance with 21 CFR 210/211 (required for Over-the-Counter drug products). DCR Labs has self-imposed health and safety standards to ensure compliance with the FDA’s CGMPs.

FDA Regulation of Hemp Extracts

The FDA is generally responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of (1) prescription and over the counter drugs; (2) biologics including vaccines, blood & blood products, and cellular and gene therapies; (3) foodstuffs including dietary supplements, bottled water, and baby formula; and, (4) medical devices including heart pacemakers, surgical implants, prosthetics, and dental devices.

Regarding its regulation of drugs, the FDA process requires a review that begins with the filing of an investigational new drug (IND) application, with follow-on clinical studies and clinical trials that the FDA uses to determine whether a drug is safe and effective, and therefore subject to approval for human use by the FDA.

Aside from the FDA’s mandate to regulate drugs, the FDA also regulates dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. This law prohibits manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. This means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of the law and FDA regulations, including, but not limited to the following labeling requirements: (1) identifying the supplement; (2) nutrition labeling; (3) ingredient labeling; (4) claims; and, (5) daily use information.

The FDA has not approved cannabis, marijuana, hemp or derivatives as a safe and effective drug for any indication. We intend to file an IND with the FDA for our CaniDermRX products in the event the pending provisional patent on an Aspartame/CBD combination is approved. As of the date hereof, our products containing CBD derived from industrial hemp are not marketed or sold using claims that their use is a safe and effective treatment for any medical condition subject to the FDA’s jurisdiction.

The FDA has concluded that products containing cannabis or industrial hemp derived CBD are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under sections 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) and (ii) of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, respectively. The FDA’s position is that products containing cannabis, CBD or derivatives are Schedule 1 drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, and so are illegal. Our products containing CBD derived from industrial hemp are not marketed or sold as dietary supplements. However, at some indeterminate future time, the FDA may choose to generally change its position concerning products containing hemp derived CBD, and may choose to enact regulations that are applicable to such products. In this event, our industrial hemp based products containing CBD may be subject to regulation.

Our products contain controlled substances as defined in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA.

Despite recent approvals by the FDA and DEA for a newly approved medication which contains cannabidiol (CBD), the scheduling of these substances, many of which are beyond our control, could jeopardize our ability to obtain regulatory approval for and successfully market our products. Any such setback in our pursuit of regulatory approval would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

FDA Regulation of CBD

On June 25, 2018 the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex. Epidiolex is the first and only FDA-approved prescription cannabidiol (CBD). It is approved to treat seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in patients 1 year of age and older. Accordingly, the FDA has designated CBD as a drug and the need for all marketed products to follow FDA guidelines for safety and efficacy. It is not yet clear how this will affect thousands of CBD products already on the market given the multitude of state and local regulations that cover this field.

Common Stock

Common stock outstanding

As of November 21, 2023, there were 41,422,339 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Dividend rights

Holders of our common stock do not have any pre-emptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

The purpose of authorizing our Board to issue preferred stock and determination its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

2021 Private Placement Notes and Warrants

On May 11, 2021, we entered into a loan agreement (the “May 11 Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which we sold approximately $2,500,000 of notes (the “May 11 Notes”) and 416,667 warrants at an exercise price of $6.00.

On May 24, 2021, we entered into a loan agreement (the “May 24 Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which we sold approximately $150,000 of notes (the “May 24 Notes”) and 25,000 warrants at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

On May 28, 2021, we entered into a loan agreement (the “May 28 Loan Agreement, with the May 11 Loan Agreement and the May 24 Loan Agreement, collectively as “2021 Loan Agreements”), pursuant to which we sold approximately $500,000 of notes (the “May 28 Notes,” collectively with May 11 Notes and May 24 Notes as the “2021 Notes”) and 83,334 warrants at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

The 2021 Notes have a six months term and are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at $6.00 per share. Interest shall accrue on the notes at 8% annually, payable on a quarterly basis. The 2021 Notes held by a particular holder will not be convertible to the extent such conversion would result in such holder owning more than 4.99% of the number of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such note calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the holder at its sole discretion, may waive the 4.99% conversion limit. However, under any circumstance, the holder may not convert the 2021 Note if such conversion would cause holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 9.99% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Any common shares converted under the 2021 Note need to be delivered to the holder within three (3) business days of the receipt of conversion notice.

The warrants are exercisable immediately for a period of five years for cash, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share of Common Stock. The warrants held by a particular holder will not be exercisable to the extent such conversion would result in such holder owning more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the warrant holder at its sole discretion, may waive the 4.99% ownership limit. However, under any circumstance, the warrant holder may not exercise the warrant if such exercise would cause such Warrant holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Company to exceed 9.99% of its total issued and outstanding Common Stock or voting shares.

Pursuant to the 2021 Loan Agreements, 2021 Notes and warrants we agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the SEC and to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing, and are required to cause such registration statement to remain effective until the Common Stock offered hereby have been sold or may be freely sold without limitations or restrictions as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

In connection with the 2023 private placement described immediately below the exercise price of the Warrants and the conversion price of the Notes was reduced to $0.93 per share.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, Notes and warrants we agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the SEC and to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing, and are required to cause such registration statement to remain effective until the Common Stock offered hereby have been sold or may be freely sold without limitations or restrictions as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Anti-Takeover Effects

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our Board rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. The provisions include the items described below.

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

We have shares of common stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.

The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, our Board has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law and subject to any limitations set forth in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and may indemnify employees and other agents. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding.

We currently do not have a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance but intend to obtain such a policy in the near future.

Our amended and restated bylaws, subject to the provisions of Delaware Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Limits on Special Meetings

Special meetings may be called for any purpose and at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President (if there be one) or by any member of the Board. Business transacted at each special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.

Election and Removal of Directors

Our Board is elected annually by our stockholders. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall not be less than three (3) nor more than seven (7) directors.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of shares of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Each director shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors or any vacancies in the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or any other cause may be filled, so long as there is at least one remaining director, only by the Board, provided that a quorum is then in office and present, or by a majority of the directors then in office, if less than a quorum is then in office, or by the sole remaining director. Directors elected to fill a newly created directorship or other vacancies shall hold office until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.

Any director may be removed from office at any time for cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Amendments to Our Governing Documents

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, shall be required to adopt any provision inconsistent with, to amend or repeal any provision of, or to adopt a bylaw inconsistent with, Articles Two, Seven, Eight and Nine of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Our amended and restated bylaws may be amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders and/or the Board. Any bylaws adopted, amended or repealed by the Board may be amended or repealed by the stockholders.

Our Common Stock and warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “SHOT” and “SHOTW”, respectively.

●	block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●	purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;

●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●	privately negotiated transactions;

●	settlement of short sales;

●	in transactions through broker dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Safety Shot, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the adjudicating court shall deem proper.

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Our bylaws, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

As permitted by the DGCL, the registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of the registrant’s directors and certain of the registrant’s officers which require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees.

The registrant expects to obtain and maintain insurance policies under which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the registrant and the registrant’s officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings

The Company hereby undertakes:

(a)(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

	i.	To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

	ii.	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

	iii.	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii), and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or date of the first sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Miami, State of Florida on November 22, 2023.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Safety Shot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the resale from time to time, as set forth in the Registration Statement, the form of prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) by the selling stockholders identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 1,978,796 (the “Shares”) shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), including (i) up to 550,000 shares of common stock; and (ii) up to 1,428,796 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”)..

You have requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement. For purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined (i) the Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith, (ii) the Prospectus, (iii) the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), (iv) the Company’s bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), (v) the corporate resolutions and other actions of the Company that authorize and provide for the filing of the Registration Statement, and we have made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have not independently established any of the facts so relied on.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of each document submitted to us, the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified, conformed or photostatic copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. We have further assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, that persons identified to us as officers of the Company are actually serving in such capacity, that the representations of officers and employees of the Company are correct as to questions of fact, that the board of directors will have taken all action necessary to set the issuance price of the Warrants to be offered and sold and that each party to the documents we have examined or relied on (other than the Company) has the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. We have not independently verified any of these assumptions.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the applicable statutory provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting such statute and provisions. We are not opining on, and we assume no responsibility for, the applicability to or effect on any of the matters covered herein of (a) any other laws; (b) the laws of any other jurisdiction; or (c) the laws of any county, municipality or other political subdivision or local governmental agency or authority.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, including when issued upon valid exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, including without limitation payment of the specified exercise price therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. The Warrants represent a binding commitment of the Company.

The opinion above is subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or remedies generally, (ii) general principles of equity, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding of law or at equity, and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing and standards of materiality.

This opinion is limited to the DGCL, including the statutory provisions of the DGCL and all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus. In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus within the meaning of the term “expert,” as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, nor do we admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

	Yours truly,
