    All these are top level stupid except racking a shotgun. It’s loud, sounds exactly like one thing, and is one further deterrent before possibly ending a life.

    That said, no guarantees that the person who said it wasn’t an idiot.

      Until you need to pull the trigger and realize that you didnt have time to play badass before getting shot by the intruder.

      “I have a gun and I will shoot you.” Works just as well and doesn’t leave you vulnerable.

      If you’re racking the gun you should be pulling the trigger a second later
