pump shotgun sound as deterrent
I hear alot of folks talking about keeping a shotgun as a home defense gun. I have no issues with this as a 12 or even 20 gauge with buckshot is a devastating gun. However a lot is made of the feeling that the sound of the pump is a deterrent and can end or preempt a confrontation. I have a couple questions/concerns
1) does anyone actually KNOW that this is the case? Are there multiple cases of intruders voluntarily fleeing at the sound of a racked shotgun?
2) My feeling personally, is that if an intruder is within my house and close enough to hear a shotgun being racked, they are an immediate lethal threat to my family and strong consideration would have to be given whether this warrants a warning or definitive action?
any thoughts?
