Hey guys- In what condition would you keep a defensive shotgun when it is stored for easy access home defense under or around your bed?
I keep a Winchester 8-Shot Defender under my side of the bed with the safety off, snap cap in the chamber, "hammer down", two first rounds are #6s, rest is OO buck…
I didn’t feel comfortable with the chamber loaded and the safety on (note that the Winchester has a plastic trigger housing). I also wanted a pump action necessary before firing because I am a big believer the idea that the noise of racking the slide will stop confrontations before they begin (at least sometimes).
Any thoughts???
