Several times a day at almost every LGS in the US, there's probably at least one employee or customer talking about the deterrent effect of the sound of the action on a pump shotgun. Yet you almost never hear anyone talk about the deterrent effect of a handgun slide or an AR bolt being racked.

I was advised (by a guy at a trusted gun shop) that activating a laser sight would deter bad guys when they saw it on the walls inside my house. If that kind of advice worked I could get by with the laser pen I got for the cats and a smartphone app that produces shotgun racking sounds. Or I could just put an NRA sticker on the front door and hope for the best.
I don't think that dumb advice should completely rule out the effectiveness of proven weapons. A shotgun is a great hd choice for many. A laser sight is a good tool. |

I heard a guy at Cabelas want to buy a pump because he told the clerk he wanted to make the racking sound. He also wanted some blanks in case the racking sound didn't work. The clerk suggested also getting some rubber buckshot.
Genius!

The poor guy probably walked out with a bayonet for his Buck knife. "Stuff I heard at Cabelas" would be a great forum.

And while you're at it, see if any of them have ever had a "home defense" situation.

I think we are done.
Let's all sit in the dark living room with a Barrett 50 BMG and wait for the zombies!
