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.

so a techniques as i be conscious of, there is no state interior the union that prohibits everyone from protecting a bullet interior the chamber of a legally held gun. Why you may desire to pass away a bullet interior the chamber is previous me, you may in basic terms ought to take it out and put in a cartridge in the previous you may desire to apply the gun, yet then to each and each their very own is wager.

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.

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?

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?

Chambered. Only pertains to semi automatic weapons.

It's called chambered or a round in the chamber.
I used to call it "ready to rock & roll."

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.

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
