That's an oxymoron. ;P If it's not chambered, it's not loaded.

loaded = rounds in the magazine, but no rounds chambered.

You know Jim, I just never even considered that there would be a question about having a loaded firearm to protect oneself with. If you don't have a round in the chamber what you have in essence is a unwieldy rock to throw at an attacker. Just having rounds in a magazine does not make a firearm loaded. It just makes it heavier. I personally always have a round in the chamber. I can draw one hand and shoot. I don't need to try to rack a round using my pants to try to build enough friction on the slide to get it to go all the way back. God forbid I had to do that in shorts! OW!
I see that someone mentioned that you practice drawing and racking all in one fluid motion, is that one handed? What are you a ninja? Please take a video of that and post it, I would love to see. Keep in mind that if you have to draw your firearm you are going to be in a high stress situation, adrenaline dump and everthing. Fine motor skills are going to be difficult at best. So the less fine motor movements you have to make the better you are.
Total side note, how many hear practice on a regular basis firing with their off hand only? If I pull a gun, chances are there are bullets flying back at me and I may get hit but still be able to fire. I practice one handed all the time. (Thats what she said) Left and right. I really need to put a few more thousand rounds through the pistol left handed though. Kinda sloppy and slow on that side. Makes me Jim when I miss a target, even left handed.
I do realize that many of us have young ones in the house, it would be better to get one of those biometric safes and keep a loaded firearm in that, then an unloaded one on our person. And I am meaning one in the chamber of course. I have been meaning to get one for the house myself. Really need to get on that. Figure I can lock it to the bed and have it right there should I need it.
So... Jim, was that what you didn't want to see? Crankier yet? LOL

Strong / weak racking slide with either hand are all topics for Training etc. I try 1 handed target engagements as well as racking the slide with 1 hand. Not an easy task w/out stress.
I just want to know, ARE your HD guns HOT? The consensus is leaning towards Yes.
I don't care what anyone's reasons are for Not having one ready to go. just a simple Y or N

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Yep!! Like if there is only one (1) round in the cylinder of a six shot revolver and that round will NOT be in line with the barrel the next time the trigger is pulled/squeezed, I believe that firearm is still considered "LOADED". Right?? Same difference.
Another REPOST - because I thought surely someone would agree with the above. With only one cartridge in the revolver it may have to be cocked or have trigger pulled/squeezed a couple times (maybe even 5 times) before the cartridge is in line with the barrel for firing. So wouldn't the LEOs still consider this firearm as being LOADED?
