One in the chamber for your shotgun?

i leave my shotgun completely empty but have 5 rounds on the side saddle, and top saddle.

if i have enough time i wear a bandolier.

I lawl'd loud!

If you just want to "intimidate" then keep a chainsaw in the bedroom and rack that bitch off.

My warning is the BOOM sound.

i could picture you with an ambrose burnside 'stache muzzle loading your musket

See above.

I agree w/ your line of logic and I don't get jokes.

only my carry weapon is chambered and holstered which is next to the shotgun, both are by the bed.

i've never worried about someone breaking in to my house at night while i've been home but i understand it could happen and i am prepared for it.

I'm the same here, only my carry weapon is loaded and chambered. The shotgun is loaded but not chambered even though I have it locked up. Not sure why I do it that way but it's what I'm comfortable with and I have always have my pistol on or near me (even when I'm home).

Quick question here. Does leaving the shotgun loaded cause spring wear like on a magazine? Do they need to be periodically replaced or do they get weak?
