- CONDITION 1. To place a weapon in condition 1, a round must be in
position to be fired and the safety must be on.
- CONDITON 2. To place a weapon in condition 2, a round must be in
position to be fired, the weapon¶s action must be closed, and the hammer
must be forward. (This condition only applies to weapons that have
external hammers).
- CONDITION 3. To place a weapon in condition 3, ammunition is in
position to be chambered, the chamber is empty, the action is closed, and
the safety is on.
- CONDITION 4. To place a weapon in condition 4, all ammunition is
removed, the chamber is empty, the action is closed, and the safety is on.
