I was just thinking about this after reading the thread on here about storing SD shotguns: you hear a bump in the night, so you grab your shotgun and chamber a round. Either the bump turns out to be nothing, or your shotgun scared the BG off, or you shot the BG and now have one less round in the magazine but a replacement in the chamber. Now, your SD shotgun that was kept "chamber empty" has a full chamber.
Does this mean that you have to completely unload the tube just to take the shell out of the chamber and put it back to store "cruiser ready" again? I know some shotguns have a magazine disconnect, but many do not.
Maybe I'm just being lazy, but part of me is looking at it as having to disarm yourself (unload it completely) just to remove the round from the chamber.
