Of what use is it to carry an unloaded gun?

"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.

It's called a paperweight.

In the land of fruits and nuts, nothing makes sense, particularly when it’s run by democrats.

An unloaded gun is not worth much, so just talking theoretically here, I would much rather not have to hit a perp with the bare knuckles if I had the option of pistol-whipping him with the barrel of a 36 oz semi-auto.

Getting smashed in the noggin with a wildly flailed pistol barrel really gets your attention, and sometimes, a nice long nap.

Just sayin’.
