Locked and loaded, referring to one in the chamber, ready to fire. Cleary he wasn't ready to fire but his firearm was.

Yeah I’m well aware. That is how guns are carried. They may have the safety on or off depending on user choice and mechanical function of the firearm. They may have no safety at all. They usually have one in the tube ready to go so the user does not need to rack the slide to put the gun into battery, because if you need a gun you need it right away.
