As was pointed out, the police would typically also have a bullet in the chamber. Clearly, he had been carrying it in that way for as long as he owned it so it wasn't as if he was on a "hunting" expedition. If he did have to take time to chamber a bullet and if indeed his life was at risk, he would never had been able to do so and he would now be dead. To me, they are grasping at straws if that's all they have.
