This guide, updated by Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo, details the 'Cruiser Ready' shotgun storage method for home defense. It emphasizes storing with an empty chamber to prevent accidental discharges, especially due to drop safety issues, while keeping the magazine loaded for rapid deployment. The guide covers preparations for both pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, addresses common myths about magazine springs, and stresses the importance of home hardening over solely relying on firearm readiness.
