hi do you guys keep one chambered in ur home defense pump...?

 

[Dave McC]

No.

Mine are kept action locked, empty chamber, safety on, mag full minus one round.

Minus one means I can add a slug if needed quick. The rest means I can make it ready to shoot in an instant, while kids and unauthorized adults can't.

Mine is kept what I believe is called "cruiser ready" - hammer down on an empty chamber with the mag full no safety on. pump to load, ready to fire
