Also, these absolute idiots saying it's ok/going to scare off a criminal by 'pumping' the shotgun while it's unloaded are absolutely fscking retarded.


Most people breaking into your house WHILE YOU'RE IN IT are NOT level headed normal people. Many of them are high/etc and could care less about you 'pumping away' on your 'gun'. There are many stories of people being shot NUMEROUS time while attacking someone in their home... i.e. unarmed criminal attacking a homehomeowner WHILE getting shot

There have been studies down on the effects of chambering a round with a pump-action shotgun. It's not a myth, as you would like people to believe. Just hearing the sound may persuade some (not all or even a majority) to quickly exit the area.

Who wants to let the bad guy get away to rob another house?

I dunno, probably the same person who would confront the intruder with an unloaded gun to avoid the potential of shooting someone.
