[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1410192, member: 5412"] I'm 100% on top of this statment. :yelclap: Total waste of tactical suprise to announce your position in advance of engaging an invader to your home. You've just announced your position, and can expect a hail of bullets that will completely penetrate the drywall and door jamb you think is giving you security, and cover. I can just imagine what would be going on in a persons mind when confronted by a bad guy pointing a gun at him at the time he picked up his unloaded shotgun to "rack the slide" to scare him. You would immediatly shat your shorts, knowing what a bad decision had been made to keep an open chamber, and "rack the slide". I've said this before, and I'll keep repeating it. The best shotgun for self defense is a semi-auto. If your shooting arm, or the "racking" arm is disabled by a shot your screwed after the first shot unless you know how to rack one with a single arm. Not that hard, but takes a lot of time. Semi-auto takes one hand to shoot and can be shot as long as there is ammo in the mag. Second opinion: The op never said where he was talking about having a chamber loaded. If one were in the upland field with me, and you didn't have your chamber loaded, it would be unfortunate that I would have game on the ground, and you would be standing there looking foolish. Proper gun positioning in the field for safety is just one of those things that you will learn. Sometimes by a slap in the back of the head by a guy walking nearby.:buttkick: [/QUOTE]
