The time it takes to chamber a shotgun round may be the only time a home invader needs to acquire your position in the dark and already have something coming for YOU

**not attempting to "drop names" or pound my chest about being an expert because of XYZ experience, but simply establishing that I didn't learn this stuff from watching how Crockett and Tubbs "carried" on Miami Vice back in the day

Well I hear ya. And I'm the same way. Now with my ccw, my glock is always near me. I would never go for the shotgun now unless there was serious trouble and wanted that type of weapon. My glock is next to my pillow on the night stand...

Who says there isn't already a chambered round in the shotty?

but I don't rock safetys just for that reason. All safeties are off.

My gun doesn't have an external safety. Pull trigger...bang....dont pull trigger....no bang. Pretty simple

Unless of course, you cycle past the chambered round so the thief knows what kind of bad-ass he is messing with.

The safety on my pistol is pretty simple too; half-cocked or because it takes 15 minutes to load.

I just never said one way or the other. Guess no one will know...
