And the simple racking of a pump shotguns slide is enough to deter many would-be burglars.

Yet another widely-stated Internet myth.
Great way to give away your position
and at the same time relinquish the element of surprise...consider it another way of shouting "Here I am--Not only am I unwilling to actually defend myself, I am unable as well!" Maybe you could tie a French flag to the barrel and wave the gun instead?
You are either justified in shooting or you are not--your state's laws will dictate this for you. If you are not justified in shooting (generally determined to be "in fear of your life or great bodily harm") then this is a non-issue. If you are justified in shooting, and you are racking and hoping to scare the bad guy away, don't be surprised to find rounds coming your way while you are waiting for "the desired effect" to occur...
Note to self--check GunBroker for cheap 1100s...
