[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3903949, member: 42584"] I fully agree that using the sound of 'racking' a 12 ga. as a pre-defense tactics is foolish . . . on a battlefield when facing a trained opponent, but in [B]most[/B] cases the opponent you're squaring off with isn't trained, is just a low-life punk looking for easy, and generally a coward who does not want a shooting confrontation. It's not about killing someone it's about eliminating the threat, and if all it takes is the sound of 'racking' your 12 ga. to eliminate the threat, then great! For those that advocate the 'shoot first, then ask questions' idea, killing someone (what shotguns are exceptionally good for) opens up a big can of legal, financial, and emotional 'worms' that you do not want in your [hopefully still non-incarcerated] life. Best to just give the 'perp' every opportunity to vacate the area on their own volition, then notify the authorities. [/QUOTE]
