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.
My understanding is that most shotguns don't have drop safe safties so you're suppose to keep them exactly how you have yours anyways. I just keep a handgun chambered next to my bed because I don't want to advertise where I am. A lot of these criminals really don't give a fuck about your gun just like in this video she wasn't that fazed by the gun now imagine some crack head in your house in the middle of the night. Probably only like a 50% chance that they even care if you have a gun.

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.
