Lots of folks like to say that they'll "take it to the Supreme Court," because "it's the principle of the thing." In litigation, principles are expensive.

This hard to believe. Long time ago (about 60 yrs) I was in a gunstore/gunsmith shop when a police officer came in with a cocked revolver, and asked the gunsmith to uncock it for him. He (the officer) didn't know how.

I am from Glasgow, well, 7 miles out side of it between Glasgow and Edmonton. My cousins are the Kentucky Headhunters and Blackstone Cherry.
The idea that in Glasgow they have a lower exposure to handguns seems a reach. There is an old saying, "Accidents happen when two idiots meet."

loaded
Yeah, believe me, I get it. Certainly, ALL guns are loaded. Understood.
Simply thought I had read somewhere that there was in fact jargon concerning "half" loaded v. fully loaded. Seems like I'm just confusing the post. Sorry |

"Half loaded" was Jeff Cooper's term for an auto with magazine loaded and chamber empty.
Not a widely used phrase. "Condition 3", also a Cooperism, is better known. Both are shottist (Cooper spelling) jargon with no legal significance. A loaded magazine equals a loaded gun, chamber status notwithstanding. (Maybe if the chamber is also loaded it becomes "Fully Loaded" as we see in news reports. Or that is just what they teach in journalism school.) |
