Loaded chamber indicators are one of the stupidist things I've ever heard of. To people used to them, an old gun without the "feature" that is loaded, will be mistaken for an unloaded one. If anything, there should be "unloaded chamber indicators" such that unequipped guns will automatically be presumed to be LOADED, which is the only safe assumption to make (unless you're pointing the gun at a criminal).

My guess is that after spreading this infection to a few guns, and getting the expected accidents ("But I thought it was unloaded because it didn't have the indicator sticking out!"), there will then be calls to ban the old technology. "Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, unless they have the indicator."

Anyone that would rely on a loaded or unloaded indicator is an idiot

There is no way they can be confused by a trained operator.
You are clearly not trained. I could train you in three minutes.
