That is 50/50, some people agree but some people disagree.
Safety is a good reason, but also as the evidence in the video shows, racking the bullet will make a big difference in the perception of the enemy. Brandishing, as we can see here, is a good way to deter a threat.
I personally would carry with a round in the chamber, but I understand why some would not.
i keep the shotgun in my bedroom with the pump half way down. i think that unmistakable racking sound is the best warning to get the fuck out of my home. but i don't want to leave the chamber empty and lose my +1 capacity.
People that say are idiots. You're trading tactical readiness for some alleged psychological "hack". They could be doped up or jacked on adrenaline. Youll be fresh out of your sleep and also jacked on adrenaline. Now you want to start working complicated things before you shoot the guys that forcefully entered your house?? Idiotic. Keep that shit ready, locked and loaded. Flip the bang switch when you make cheek weld then squeeze the trigger a bunch.
i disagree. i don't want to always keep it in a 100% ready to fire state and i don't want to keep the safety on either. this is a great compromise and i'll have no issue moving the pump forward 2 inches in my jacked on adrenaline state.
Ok man. Run up and down your stairs twenty times then try it. All i can say is that no professional gunfighter, from military to LE to self defense instructors, endorses or recommends this. If you want to scare an invader with a noise it should be a dog barking.
oh yeah she barks like a motherfucker. i saw another reply of yours about "telegraphing your position and armament" - that's a really good point and you've given me something to think about.
Glad to hear it! The best thing i can do is recommend taking a legit gun fighting class from some of the big schools. Thunder ranch gunsite tactical response travis Haley. Etc etc. Shotguns are good for birds and not much else. Modern sporting rifle with a tactical light and a red dot, good chest rig with 3-4 more mags, med kit, headlamp. Its not cheap but its what our founding fathers would have done!

She didn't understand "Get out of my way."
She didn't understand "Leave me alone."
She didn't understand "Stop blocking my car from leaving."
But she understood loud and clear the sound of a bullet being chambered into that handgun.
Some people don't understand anything other than physical threats. You can't reason with a violent instigator.

You should already have a round in the pipe tho.
