UCW makes no mention of the loaded condition of the weapon, or whether it is cased or not. That means a gun in unloaded condition or cased would still be chargeble under UCW, if it meets the other elements.
On a practical level I don't believe most prosecutors or LEOs will have an opportunity or a willingness to push this issue. If the weapon is concealed it is a very limmted exposure. I would expect all but the most anti judge or juries would be sympathetic towards someone returning home while legally carrying. This should be easy to fix in 2009.
