I voted not to. My shotgun sits with an empty chamber and will need to be racked with the unlock button depressed. If someone is in my house, I'd do it as soon as I pick it up. If the disturbance is outside, I'd probably tote it along empty until I survey the situation. -tINY |

Chachunk
Whether it's the 870 or the Winchester Model 25, both 20" barrel, with 4 00 Buck in the magazine. One or the other is in my bedroom. The only time I'd pick up the shotgun is if I am awakened and I'm SURE there is someone inside the house. Otherwise, it's the loaded, chambered, off safe 1076 in my hand. Maglite in the other hand.
If I'm in another part of the house and hear something, it's whatever is close. The 1911A1 (condition 1), Python, Bulldog (by Charter, not the K9 ), etc.

All of my SD guns are in cond 1. We have no children or acquaintances who would be fiddling around with my guns. Rationales for no ca-chunk: loss of surprise, down one round going in, possibility of feed failure for manually cycled 1st round. I sleep with several handguns and a 5 inch spotlight, long gun for going outside if necessary. My wife would have my 6. Entry would not be difficult but it would not be quiet.

Did somebody say Shortsword???
No. You cannot chachunk a Shortsword. But, if you draw really sloppily, you can get that cool "Shling!" noise. I always prefer the "Shling!" noise to the "Snikt!" of the Kabar on the nightstand, or the "Thwick" sound of the Bowie knife. Yeah. Blades are pretty...
(Interlude for Lucy Liu-based Samurai daydream...) Ahem! Excuse me... Now, the question is, do any of you who keep blades near the bedside train in using them? |

I usually have the Benchmade knife I carry with me in my bedroom. I practice all the time on boxes, threads, rope, spinters, and so on.... -tINY |

Is this still going on? Is there any more to be said? Have we not exhausted any logical positions on the issue?
