Clear the shotgun, visually check the chamber and mag tube follower for empty, close the bolt while watching the chamber to double ensure empty, point the shotgun in a safe direction, pull the trigger, load the tube to capacity with 00 3" Magnum buck, stash in your favorite hiding spot.

When SHTF, grab the shotgun, rack it once, ready to rock. No BSing around with the slide lock. Hopefully the sound of the slide racking will convince the perp to get the hell outta there.
