A shotgun 'folds open' at the end of the barrel nearest to the user, the cartridges are loaded in to the barrel and then it is closed again....

So it isn't 'cargarla' but literally to close it after loading.

montar una escopeta [armar un fusil]
Yo usaría “montar”... “montó la escopeta”... aunque “cerrar” creo que también es válido.
DRAE:
montar
9. tr. Armar, poner en su lugar las piezas de cualquier aparato o máquina. U. t. en sent. fig.
Suerte.

In context, maybe "preparó la escopeta para tirar/disparar" may suffice...
