Chambered, loaded, ******, ready to rock and roll, ready for action, and so on.

It's called.................. "loaded."

If it doesn't have one in the chamber, then it's just a big paperweight.

Uhhhh. . . being prepared?

If they are on duty, they sure as hell better have one in the chamber... otherwise, it's called stupid.

Loaded or charged are two words for it.

Maybe police should carry cookies instead of guns, that way when they get in a gunfight they can offer some of Grandma's toll houses to persuade the bad guy not to shoot them?

Chambered. Only pertains to semi automatic weapons.

Locked & Loaded

or

Chambered

The term is loaded. A gun should always be treated as if it were loaded, so mine always is. A police officer would be severly disciplined if his firearm wasn't loaded.


DR DEAL
serious business,specially if your at the other end.

It's called departmental policy, at least for me. We're required to keep a round chambered in our duty weapons. If something goes down fast, chambering a round wastes precious time.

charged

The guy who answered that it is irresponsible and dumb to carry one in the chamber shows he has no LE background. Any officer with ANY experience will tell you it's absolutely necessary to keep a sidearm in condition 1, the technical name for carrying loaded with one ready to go. By the way, all you need for a firearm to be considered "loaded", is if there is a round in the magazine.

I used to call it "ready to rock & roll."


zabadass

Miss Guided
It's called "Do you feel lucky today? Well do ya punk?"

Well, if you're referring to a specific term, I've heard it called a "granny round" Fully loaded magazine+chambered round. I don't know why it's called that. Maybe someone can help me out here?


charlsyeh
all officers are trained to keep a round in the chamber.if something was to happen they would not have time to load. so it is loaded and ready at all times


harveyhall_2
loaded.


moon_flower_unicorn_power
asking for trouble...any gun owner knows better that to do that


Ralfcoder
It's called stupid, ignorant, and dangerous. Anyone who's had a basic gun safety class knows better than this.
