I keep my Remington 870 in my bedroom closet with a full tube but an empty chamber. I have the action closed but I dry fire it so that it can be racked without hitting the release. Since the chamber is empty, I leave the safety off. I want as few steps as possible before I can fire the gun but I want to rack the slide in hopes that the sound will convince an intruder to choose an easier target.
