I'm sorry, officer, I had no idea. I only have one bullet with me; if I promise to chamber it, will you let me off with just a warning?

How do you chamber a bullet?

Some people also call the shell-and-bullet assembly a bullet. That’s what Barney Fife would have carried in his pocket.

Simple...stick it in the chamber, release the slide. Sure, it’ll wobble around in there, but it’s chambered.

Smarty. I too used to be a terminology nazi. =P

(Hey, at least I didn’t say “put a bullet in the clip.”

I think they’re supposed to have cartriges and priming cups on the other side. Or are those illegal now?
