[QUOTE="trbii, post: 1179407, member: 2449"] When chambering a round in a home defense weapon, I've copied a practice some ex-service men I've talked to said their guard shacks on bases used to do. Rig up a weapons clearing bullet stop somewhere handy. One former Army MP told me they had a barrel almost full of sand next to his guard post in Panama to clear the 1911 pistol into, which stopped a bullet quite well during shift change when one guy forgot he'd chambered a round earlier, ejected the mag and pulled the trigger, pointing the muzzle into the barrel before passing it over to his relief man. I have stacked sand bags and duct taped phone books in a corner of my garage for this. [/QUOTE]
