Even back then, I wouldn't have shot someone over a possession... and I certainly wouldn't now. I'd say, most people wouldn't. But when one hears the distinctive sound of a round entering the chamber (especially on a shotgun), even the most insane or stupid person probably wouldn't want to roll the dice to see if the person holding the gun is bluffing or not.
