Nothing scarier than the sound of a shotgun pump in the dead of night :cool:

One of the most untrue internet myths oft repeated. I say this as a former cop. It's the stuff of movies and the internet, not real life.
 
My Glock Feldmesser has a permanent place on my nightstand. I'd rather have an AR, though. One more year...

Just looking for clarification here. Are you saying if someone breaking into someones house in the dead of night and that someone hears the sound of a shotgun chamber a round that's not scary?

That's what I'm saying. All it tells the bad guy/s if heard is they need to kill you. Just because it's repeated over and over on the internet doesn't make it remotely true.

Think about it, most people doing break-ins when they suspect a homeowner is there are the kind of people who carry their own guns. If they're tipped off buying hearing the infamous racked shotgun, do you really think they're going to run out of the house? Don't you, as a homeowner, want an element of surprise and not tip your hand?

You're better of with a dog as an early warning system and a small, concealable firearm for CCB.

id bet to differ on that. had an intruder in our hunting cabin trying to steal out hunting gear on the table, racked a slug behind him & he dropped a load in his shorts.

granted yes he didnt want to run out of the house; but i thinks that was do to the fact of him having no place to run haha :D
 
Usually whatever I have that day on my goes on the nightstand. However, I am usually playing with various knives around bedtime and they usually end up on the nightstand too.

And just because its oft repeated doesn't make it untrue. The sound of a pump shotgun being racked in a dark quiet house can have a sobering effect. :D

If they break in knowing you're there, its a pretty good indication they are either an amateur or a hit man...odds a an armature

You're premise already indicated they know you are there. Now they know you are also armed. Very good chance they will move on.

Anyway, back to the basic knife premise, we're getting too close to a PracTac thread ;), and none of want that.

Who said anything about letting them run..? LOL.. I also don't keep one in the chamber 24/7, But I'm pretty sure that I'll have enough time to rack one if need be, not to difficult. Only takes, what? A second :)

Btw, I have a jack russel that hears the neighbor farting next door, I'm not to worried about the surprise factor..

The bed room trumpet of terror from the warden has a mighty sharp edge to it after a garlic heavy meal. :eek: I would never consider a knife for home invasion defense. There are more effective options.

I'd sure love one of those!! :p :thumbup:
 
I forgot where I was, sorry. You internet warriors obviously know better...
 
Usually my ZT 0200, mainly because that's my EDC. Also my bk2, I don't know how it gets there but it does lol.
 
There is a Kris Cutlery Pira on the dresser. It is small, with only a 14" blade. I need to get my Wakizashi and Pinuti out of storage...just moved.
I see these as decorative. There are better options out there, as have already been mentioned.
