The working of a pump action can cause an intruder to break and run. Sometimes that’s the best result. Killing someone is serious business.
For the OP, do you already have a shotgun or have any interest in hunting?

This is bad advice propagated by Hollywood and people who don’t have experience in this realm. The general rule of thumb is that if someone is ballsy enough to enter an occupied home, they already know it’s occupied and there’s a chance the owner is armed. Your racking the shotgun only removes your element of surprise and also negates one extra round that can be in the gun.

Also true but the home owner has no idea the intention of an intruder. Is it to kill, maim, rob, rape? Only way to find out is to sit there and wait. Better to have a plan to deal with the threat and respond accordingly, which I am not implying means certain death.

This is almost as bad as people telling others to have birdshot as a first round. If someone has the balls to break into your home you defend your family and worry about the grand jury later.
