What constitutes a 'loaded' firearm in the context of Alabama law?

  1. A firearm with ammunition in the chamber

  2. A firearm with a magazine inserted, whether or not it has ammunition

  3. A firearm with ammunition in the chamber or any attached magazine

  4. A firearm within easy reach, accompanied by ammunition

The correct answer is: A firearm with ammunition in the chamber or any attached magazine

In the context of Alabama law, a firearm is considered 'loaded' if it has ammunition in the chamber or if there is any attached magazine with ammunition present. This definition implies that the firearm is ready to be fired immediately either from the chamber or from the magazine attached to it. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it reflects the specific conditions that classify a firearm as loaded according to Alabama law. Options A, B, and D do not fully capture the complete definition of a 'loaded' firearm in Alabama law. Option A focuses solely on ammunition in the chamber, excluding the possibility of a loaded magazine. Option B states that a firearm is loaded with the mere presence of a magazine, regardless of whether it contains ammunition or not. Option D, on the other hand, brings in the concept of proximity to ammunition, which is not the decisive factor in determining a 'loaded' firearm under Alabama law.
