@devyn172 If you choose to handicap yourself, well, that's entirely up to you.

@hackerhunterdotexe My shotgun is in my closet right next to my bed and its a sliding glass door.I also have a 22lr with a loaded clip that i can slide in, in "one second".

@devyn172 Consider the location of your shotgun. I doubt that you sleep with it since you don't feel "Safe" having a round in the pipe. Once you wake up, asses the situation, get to your shotgun (which probably involve a door or two) and gas it up - it'll be a whole lot longer than "One second" to get that system running and into the fight.

@devyn172 Sounds like you need to educate your friends and family.

What do you plan to do if one of your arms goes down for ANY reason and you need to defend yourself, Now.... Not in, "One second."

Mr. Hickok has a video of a Moss 590A1 - in which he failes to fully cycle the action several times. Most would consider him proficient and safe. He failed to get rounds into battery while enjoying some shotgun time. Not while he's under stress and his motor skills have gone caveman.

@hackerhunterdotexe Im not trying to debate on that subject. I keep 5, 3" 00 buckshots In the shell holder I have on the butt of my mb500. In my opinion i dont want to have a loaded gun in my house even if the saftey is on,it only takes 1 second to rack one in same as 1 second to have a fatal accident.I wouldnt know what to think if one of my freinds or family members got hurt by me having a loaded gun for them to find.

@devyn172 In the case of contact or imminent contact, the last thing you want to do is introduce a point of failure.

If racking a shotgun scared anyone as you say it does, home intruders/criminals would not end up being shot while we are defending our families or ourselves.

[hackerhunterdotexe]

@devyn172 I understand what you are saying. The fact is, racking a shotgun is not intimidating. If an intruder breaks in to your home, they do not care what you do or do not rack. Not having a round in the pipe is introducting a point of failure. You are going to be fumbling around when you are groggy from being woken up and it will more than likely be dark. If you do not fully cycle the action, you will not get a round into battery, you will get a mushy trigger.
