What in the eyes of various state laws constitutes a "loaded firearm?" A revolver with rounds in the cylinder I would consider loaded. What about a semi-auto with a charged mag in with the hammer down, safety on, and an empty chamber? You would have to release the safety and rack the slide to "load" the weapon. Same would be true of a shotgun with the tube loaded but chamber empty and safety on. Just because of the general talk of the day and what liability issues this might bring into play if there was an AD or God forbid an accidental shooting I was curious. Comments?
