Yes you would, you as you clearly are incapable of making a tactical assessment, in thinking that bluffing is a sound option.
I come across some crackhead rifling through my stuff, I cycle that thing, he runs off. If he doesn't, I make pasta from his chest.
My tactical assessment would consist of
- is it a cop
- did he freeze/run out
- shoot.
Well, first of all, the 12ga pump action shotgun is actually a rather challenging weapon to master, but you're not even going to train with it, so you'll have no muscle memory under duress, which, being a panic monkey as you are, I would say the adrenal dump will prolly be debilitating you.
And then you're going to wait to chamber a round, until you are actually in contact, because you're bluffing, at which point the other guy, who is probably going to be a real American, and as such, will know what the deal is when he hears that slide action, will turn and shoot you before you can get your shot off.
To wit, someone who doesn't chamber a round until they are at the drop, is an easy mark, and so not actually intimidating at all.
