Its going to be slow, going to cause me to miss the shot, etc etc
Excuses abound.
The idiots among us are more commonly armed with 6,000 pound vehicles that can go 100mph while texting their girlfriend watching YouTube and eating a hamburger while piss drunk, so there's obviously a balance between living life and being reckless with your life. Every man's got to define his own parameters. Its just silly to me how a lot of people who grew up with guns are so careless with them.

Just saw an update on the Ol Facebook, this was from unfiltered with Kiran
Copied from UFWK
The 68-year-old man was shot in the arm and thigh areas and rushed to a hospital, leaving out in an ambulance and then airlifted to a hospital. He is being treated for non-life threatening injuries, according to officials.
WLF agents say two people were unknowingly deer hunting at the same time on a small piece of private property they had permission to be on. One of them thought they were shooting at a deer, but instead accidentally shot the other one with buckshot from a 20-gauge shotgun. The shooter then notified authorities immediately for help.
WLF agents say neither of the two men were wearing the required hunter’s orange and the shooter did not have deer tags on him. It’s why agents cited the shooter for hunting deer without possessing deer tags and not wearing hunter’s orange. Further charges could be possible depending on the investigation.
The LDWF Enforcement Division would like to remind deer hunters to follow hunter orange requirements and to fully identify their target and background before pulling the trigger

I’m sure the person feels terrible but damn you have to be a fricking retard to shoot a person mistaking them for a deer.
I look at every deer for a while before I decide to shoot. I would never shoot any deer without a clear look of the head.

If you think BUCK fever is bad wait till you have OF shite MY FAMILY COULD DIE fever.
Like the idiots that say "chamber around with your pump shotgun that will scare them off" NO that lets them know right where to shoot.

I can’t believe four people actually agree with you on this
You can get a thumbprint bedside gun safe to keep the gun in if you’re worried about kids getting to it. I think it’s over kill to have every gun in the house loaded and only keep two pistols in my bedroom loaded.

here is my order of operations should an intruder break into my house at ZERO DARK THIRTY or whatever.
1. Four buttons on the bedside safe
2. clip into 9mm
3. rack a round
4. I'm in the hallway with 2000 lumens
OR
If I hear them breaking in:
1. Walk into my closet that is 4 feet from where I sleep
2. Take AR-15 off of my wall mount (one button, out of reach of children)
3. Take one of many loaded magazines
4. Chamber round
5. I'm in the hallway with 2000 lumens and a red dot
All of these result in FAFO for my intruder and dont involve leaving a fricking round in the chamber for a kid (any kid, no matter their rank) to pop one off at a friend or a wall.

That's a good plan till it happens and you start to panic and hands are shaking like a leaf.

Upgrade your neighborhood
have your significant other randomly wake u up 1 night and say someone's trying to break in and see how well you can execute your plan - Unless you practice it you odds of quickly, quietly and properly chambering around are 30% at best.

All of my AR's have a mag in and the bolt locked back. My handguns have one in the chamber. Nobody in my house touches them without me there. My son even called out an adult for flagging him recently.
There is cautious and then there is over cautious. I'm not trying to be loading a gun for self defense.

Everybody's got a plan till they get punched in the mouth...
My plan is MY plan. Master Chief with 6 loaded pistols at arms length could freeze like Mitch McConnell and never fire a round.
Or what if the intruder is super cunning, throwing a flash bang into your bedroom and breaking all windows along with bravo team!??? What do you do then?
None of these scenarios are realistic....no matter what neighborhood you live in......What IS realistic is a live round in the chamber of a weapon in arms length of a child and an accident occurs
Example: I pointed a live round weapon at a lady when I was 5 at our hunting camp

I’m not going to live my life in fear of this hypothetical boogie man when in reality this most likely thing to ruin my family regarding firearms is for my kid or another kid to find it and do something stupid with it. I keep a mag in my pistol at all times and it’s somewhere I could get to it easily in the middle of the night but extremely unlikely that my kid will stumble across it.
And if my hands are shaking too bad to rack the slide then I’m damn sure not going to be able to get effective shots on the target. All of my hunting rifles are unloaded unless I’m currently sitting in the stand. I will not walk to the stand or climb into the stand with a loaded weapon. If that means I miss out on a deer that’s just fine. I’d rather go home empty handed than not go home at all.

I don't live in fear of the boogieman, but if he were to show up, the less steps I have to take, the better. Everyone in my house has a healthy respect of firearms, and they aren't where anyone but us can get to them easily.
I guess if you let strangers walk into your closet and give them your safe code, it may be a different story.

Despite your plan being against the CW of gun culture, I don't think it's terrible and I think everyone needs to make reasonable decisions for their situation so long as you train for it.
The likelihood of you shooting a home intruder is almost zero, by going round unchambered you're just adding one more question mark to a very remote scenario. If that's worth it to you in exchange for an added layer of security for a negligent discharge/kid issue, so be it.
