I'd say so.In 1976 or so I was living in NY’s East Village with a girlfriend.
Back then it was a very high crime area.
Our apartment had a loft bed and I kept a Mossberg 500 loaded but chamber empty.
Late one night someone was trying to jimmy our apartments door open.
I told him numerous times that there were people inside and to go away.
This only encouraged him to jimmy harder.
Finally I picked up the shotgun, chambered a shell and shouted for him to get the F$&$ out of here before I blasted him.
I heard a voice crying, “Oh crap!” followed by feet running downstairs.
Does this qualify as announcing that I was armed?
