What’s the difference?
When you are just storing a gun, it should be unloaded.
Until you are getting the gun ready to use, it should reamin unloaded.
For example. I have a shotgun at the ready. Until I was getting it ready to use, I made sure it was empty of shells.
Now that it is ready to use, it is fully loaded, including a shell in the chamber.
OK, whatever. Sounds like liberal double talk to me.
I think the idea would be that the nightstand gun is loaded before you go to bed, and unloaded before you leave the house. I would expect most people wouldn't be inclined to bother loading and unloading the gun so often, but I wouldn't see anything particularly wrong with it. If nothing else, loading it before bed allows one to be sure that it is in fact loaded.
Shannon’s Law, A.R.S. 13-3107, would definitely be a blanket provision against firing warning shots.
Seriously, who’s gonna do that every day? The NRA is just being PC and a little STUPID if you ask me.
