"The best home defense is a 12 gage shot gun. My suggestion is to have the gun loaded without one in the chamber. Then when aroused smartly pick up the weapon, announce you are armed and simoltaneously rack the shotgun sliding a shell into the chamber. If after hearing you and or after hearing the racking of a shotgun, they have chosen not to flee....when they enter the room pull the trigger!!"
So, this loaded 12 gauge shotgun is under your bed or standing in the corner of your bedroom? Hopefully, if there are grandkids who come to visit, the shotgun will be disassembled.
You are not home and a burglar enters the house. He takes your loaded shotgun.
You wake up from a deep sleep, hearing a sound, still a little cobwebbed, rack the shotgun, and accidently shoot a family member.
All very possible situations. You could be in the right all the way and still have tragic results. Who knows?
