Describe for me the situation you imagine might happen where an attacker is too close to you to ratchet a pump shotgun but far enough away for you to grab, point and shoot an auto?
Make sure your homeowners and medical insurance is the very best you can buy. Your sort of cowboy wannabee is a sure candidate for an accident shooting incident.
The conversation has strayed away from the only point I was making which was the racking of a shotgun is not an effective deterrent. That’s it.
FYI, My pistol is right next to me at night. My shotgun is for if I have to go outside for any reason.
