Believe me, when I chamber a round, I mean to fire it. If the home invader makes a hasty exit before he gets a lead cocktail, then that's fine by me.

If I were to confront any home invader, I would like to think my weapon is in full working condition. The safety would be off, my finger inside the trigger guard with the sights on center mass. I'm also not inclined to allow a home invader the chance to leave and continue their career.

I don't particularly care to make any sound that says, "I'm standing right over here and I'm trying to figure out how to load this thing".

Just my humble opinion. Your mileage may vary. It's easy to write stuff, safe, and behind a computer. Etc.
