apparently you do not know the legal definition of 'armed'
<ahem>
Armed Law and Legal Definition
Armed means furnished with weapons of offense or defense; furnished with the means of security or protection. In short it means carrying a weapon. For example the bank robber was armed with a shot gun. It can also mean involving the use of weapons. For example terrorists abandoned the armed struggle.
In Buchannon v. State, 554 So. 2d 494, 495 (Ala. 1989) the court held that
“In the context of substantive criminal statutes, most courts have concluded that "armed" means having a weapon that is within a person's immediate control and available for his use.
