Opinions may vary, but for me it would be loaded, unchambered, safety off. The sound of the slide racking may be enough to convince the intruder (or mother-in-law) that they’re outgunned and leave your property without you having to fire a shot.

I concur. If the dogs don’t discourage them or stop them, the very-loud-in-a-dark-house-at-night sound of a shotgun being racked will hopefully encourage a quick egress. I wouldn’t mind having one of those for my Persuader. If I had kids though I would install a biometric wall safe near the bed.

Sorry AP — I just now got it. Kiss kiss bang bang. I’m an idiot, and that’s hilarious.

Yeah, this is okay but a better Christmas gift for the Hot Air reader in your life is the Best Of Hot Air on DVD.

Any word on a release date?

Does it fit on a Craftmatic adjustable bed? ‘Cause then I wouldn’t even have to sit up to aim. And if I rigged up the Clapper to the trigger somehow… Hmmm…

With a shotgun, there’s too many decisions:
- Unloaded or loaded?
- Unchambered or chambered?
- Safety on or off?

Does it play the dramatic music when you install it?

Wouldn’t that be great?!?!?

LMAO!

I would be the only casualty if I got CLP lube oil stains on my wife’s 800 thread count sheets.

Get a scary dog for early warning and keep the pistol grip pump on the shelf close by.

Very disappointing. I was hoping for a Claymore mine commercial.

As for the $40, a box of JHP and some time at the range is a lot better use.

Anyone who is having problems seeing Flash videos and has NoScript installed in FireFox, temporarily ‘allow’ Google Analytics. I know, I hate them too but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Seems G.A. is getting embedded in a lot of Flash clips recently.

Dude, if mom-in-law is in the habit of sneaking in the bedroom at O-dark-thirty you might consider using the shotgun on yourself.

“The patented Backup device…”

Patented. Yeah right.

Jim-Bob bent some metal and tossed a couple of welds on it – and said to Billy-Lou: “Ain’t it the cat’s pajamas?” Billy-Lou replied: “Y’all shud git a pattern on dat idear. Yew culd get rich!”

I’m just not so sure about this. One night I woke up, because I was I drinking hand lotion. After that, I make a point to keep guns and poisons ten feet from my bed.

I’m getting The Judge for Christmas this year.

My gunsmith warned me to acquire whatever handguns I want before January 2009, in case there’s a Dem in the White House.

They should make one for the bathtub, too.

Ha! And a little mini one for a handgun on the side of the lazy-boy.
