[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1588795, member: 42"] it can also result in an armed intruder deciding to open fire before you because he now knows you are armed and you've given up the element of surprise. The decision to store a shotgun magazine-loaded but chamber emtpy is valid for some applications, and there are techniques to bring one to bear quickly from that condition, but you shouldn't be relying on the loading of it as some sort of talisman to scare away the boogey-man. If you are concerned about giving a warning, why be ambiquous...give a verbal warning and get on with it. Exactly...anyone who thinks shooting a bird with bird shot is the same as engaging an assailant under stress with defensive loads, is fooling themselves. You can miss, very badly, with a shotgun even at 'inside the house' distances. [/QUOTE]
