I generally leave the chamber of the home defense shotgun empty. With grand kids around even though it's out of reach just a secondary precaution.
Plus I still like the sound of the first round chambering. Lately I pretty much rely on handguns for night time home defense anyhow.
Seems the older I get the less I care really.
