Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

The hilarious, but true answer is, it depends on the State! In several States having a magazine in a semi automatic, chamber MT is considered “unloaded” but quoting Paul Harvey here for the rest of the story. In same State a revolver carrying one shy of a full load and hammer resting on a MT cylinder is considered loaded. You can’t make this up!

See, I would consider a gun that when you pull the trigger and the safety is off, if it goes boom, it is loaded
If it doesn't not go boom, it is unloaded

Pure logic right there


The only catch .22 would be a revolver which rotates the cylinder when you pull the trigger
You can have one empty chamber in that cylinder which would be next in line
Pull the trigger once, and no boom
Pull it a second time, boom
So I guess that would be a self loading gun
