You know, if you plan on keeping it a one point sling and not using that sling mount, I'd just take it off.
Some SG (semi-auto) can be limped wristed just like a pistol. One handed can cause jams depending on person, ammo, and position fired from. I've tested this theory with a Rem 1100 several times with different loads, and have not had a malfunction yet.
Amazing how many SGs can blow a pattern at 10 yds - pattern that thing. +1000
If you can not get to it before someone gets to you it is no good. Or if you have an open chamber when suprised in the middle of the night, and the intruder is locked and loaded. Wait a minute!! I have to rack my slide!!
Probably not the best thing to say on the internet,I hope it doesn't come back to haunt you some day.
that 1-2 seconds will get one killed. Last steel challenge I attended, 5 targets were taken down in 2.11 seconds.Personally,I'd just as soon not shoot the dumb azz,paper work/legal problems etc.Takes longer to get into action?? What maybe 1-2 seconds??

Personally I don't ever want to kill another human being. Your life is forever changed.
The reasons above are secondary.
I live in the country, so calling the LEO is the first thing, but while waiting for them to arrive, its all on me. My wife will not arm herself.
I won't rack a slide, but with our outside lighting that is on at night along with the motion detectors that turn on additional lights, I've made sure all inside lights are not automatically turned on, so anybody lurking outside is in the light and cannot see inside.
When we lived in town 20 years ago we had motion detector lights on the house. I can't believe this has not been discussed as a deterrent to some prowler.
Why are you still arguing?! Loaded or unloaded it's all moot..... as all you have to do is rack the slide and the BGs will do a road runner impression out of your home. It's like a magic talisman to ward off evil.
