Do you keep one in the pipe of your home defense shotgun? Why?
I know this subject has been beat to death in reference to handguns and I always carry a handgun with one in the pipe, but it seems that when it comes to shotguns many folks do not and I wonder why. Is a shotgun's safety any less effective than a handguns?
I've been shooting shotguns longer than any other firearm, but oddly enough have always used a handgun for HD because it has been easier to keep a pistol safe in my bedroom than my rifle safe. The time just recently came to get a second large gunsafe and this one is going to go in my bedroom along with a shotgun.
I've always hunted with a loaded chamber and the gun on safe and unless there is a good reason not to, I plan to keep my HD shotgun in the same condition.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
I apologize if this subject has been recently discussed. I did do a search for a couple of different terms before posting.
