"Of what use is it to carry an unloaded gun?"

It was explained to me one time that if you're carrying an unloaded pistol you can carry loaded magazines in your pocket.

I guess if there's a situation that arises you'll probably have to await commands from the line officer. With a magazine and five rounds, load. All ready on the right, all ready on the left. The line is ready. You may commence firing once your target appears.

Exactly - for as we all know, real life threat conditions approximate those on the target range. /s

Oh great Devil Dog! Why don’t you just give them more stupid ideas!?!?

I can see them not allowing you to carry ANY weapon; however, if you do break this law, YOUR (the legal, law-abiding citizen) rules of engagement require that you: must have been shot at least three times OR critically shot once OR shot at a minimum of two clips (you must be able to verify that a clip change was made) AND no return fire is allowed without the express written consent of the State Board of ROE! /s
