My handgun is in a small safe next to my bed. I can have it out and chambered in about 3 seconds. (yes, I DO NOT keep a round in the chamber - stupidest thing a person could ever do). Plus the sound of chambering a round is a deterrant in and of itself.

I keep my revolver loaded. Safety off. Obviously, a revolver isn't going to make that sound but if you want the chambering sound to serve as a deterrent you shouldn't be drawing your weapon. I hope I never have to hold my revolver in self defense but if I do the only deterrent in my mind is a corpse. Whoever is breaking into your house is armed. Why would you give them a warning?
