Star BM and most other Star SA pistols may or may not have firing pins longer than the length of travel. If carried hammer down and something strikes the hammer it may fire.
You can check this by putting a primed brass in the chamber, point the gun in a safe direction, and using a plastic mallet strike the hammer with the hammer fully down. If the primer fires, then never ever carry it loaded and hammer down. If the primer has a dimple but didn't fire, still don't pack it with the hammer down.
The Star BM does not have a firing pin lock either so DO NOT CARRY IT ON HALF COCK. It is not made for that either.
As others posted, Cocked and Locked is the way to go. That or chamber empty.
