Second is the notion that when the intruder hears you rack the slide on the old 870 he flees in fear. Maybe not. In that case, giving away your position and that you are armed is complete nonsense that could be fatal.
And, it means you either didn't have one in the chamber to begin with, or, you just ejected a live round onto the floor.
Both, really bad tactical mistakes.
OR just ejecting the birdshot to get to buck.
I shot a buck that ran by me once at about 18 yards. I was shooting lead 4s from duck hunting before the steel shot laws. Most went completely through the chest and out the other side iirc. That was at 54 ft.
I'd hate to see what they did to a person at 10-20 ft.
