RCW 9.41.010 Terms defined. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter. (9) "Loaded" means:
(a) There is a cartridge in the chamber of the firearm;
(b) Cartridges are in a clip that is locked in place in the firearm;
(c) There is a cartridge in the cylinder of the firearm, if the firearm is a revolver;
(d) There is a cartridge in the tube or magazine that is inserted in the action; or
(e) There is a ball in the barrel and the firearm is capped or primed if the firearm is a muzzle loader.
A great loophole....
My dueling pistols are six cylinder, loads from front of cylinder not the muzzle
takes care of 'E'.
Also uses primer caps, not cartriges, so 'C' also not relavent.
yeh, I get away from all the "loaded" requirements.....
I do believe the old peacemakers are the same way, except each cyl has a cap.
