yeah great, and since i conceded the ‘language’ aspect, the rest of the original post still stands, which you chose to avoid...
No issue with your post, except to clarify that "use" in No. 3 is user defined, as you noted.
Obeying NRA No. 1 and No. 2 will ensure the loaded vs. unloaded condition is irrelevant. If it's not in "use" it should be unloaded.
"Every gun is loaded" is fiction, and adds nothing useful outside of the requirement for NRA 1 and 2.
