What do you mean by "determine the state of readiness of a firearm"
|
Is it loaded/ready to fire.
For example with a revolver you pop the cylinder and feel for rounds in the chambers and then close. A mag check and "press check" with a semi-auto is tougher in darkness but there are techniques.
The few times I've tried a "blackout" reload of an 870 shotgun (with snap caps) I've screwed it up every time. Seems like it should be so simple but I sure don't have the knack. No issues with my Mossberg though, how weird is that?
