I'd like to hear some different opinions on how you keep your HD shotgun 'at the ready':
Is it loaded?
Is there a round in the chamber?
Is the safety on?
Is it in a locked container?
Personally, my Mossy 500 is in an unlocked soft case, loaded with 000 buck & slugs, a snap cap in the chamber (which I pull the trigger on, so the firing pin spring is relaxed while stowed away)
To use: I must rack once - snap cap goes flying, 000 buck loads into chamber. BG gets earful and immediately knows my location and choice of home defense.
I'm ok with this for now. But I'm always looking for improvements - What's your strategy?
