Condition 1-3 refers to the condition of the firearm in regard to readiness to fire.

Condition 1 = round chambered, mag seated in mag well, hammer cocked, safety on

Condition 2 = round chambered, mag seated, hammer down.

Condition 3 = empty chamber, mag seated, hammer down.

Condition Zero ("0") - same as condition one (1)... safety off. :uhoh:

Condition Zero ("0") - same as condition one (1)... safety off. :uhoh:

Condition 0 is far preferable to Condition 1 when pointing a gun at a BG whom intends you harm. It is highly recommended to switch from Condition 1 to Condition 0 before attempting to dispatch him.

I carry a SERPA Level II with adjustable draw tension (Level I) and trigger guard lock button (Level II). Level III's have a hood.

Col. Cooper's Color Codes for "States of Awareness"

People throw these around a lot, and I thought I'd provide a link to a well-written discussion on the matter, and put a brief description of the "Color Codes" here...

http://www.self-defense-mind-body-spirit.com/awareness.html

White - unaware, not paying attention
Yellow - attentive, but relaxed
Orange - focus is directed, there is an immediate potential threat
Red - there is a definitive threat
Black - you are actively fighting
​

The only time you should be in condition "White" is when you are asleep...

Refering back to Mettalica's enter sandman "sleep with one eye open" it is possible to be in condition yellow while asleep

Better than having a BG kick your butt, IMHO (in my humble opinion)
