I grew up outdoors and we had guns.. Mostly long guns. I took firearm safety with Scouts and hunter safety. I was *always* taught that you loaded a gun when you were ready to use it.

I understand your point.

Here is how I view it.

First, there are guns I am carrying for immediate self defense, for example, a holstered handgun on my hip. Those guns are loaded with a chambered round as I am ready to use them.

Second, there are backup defensive firearms, like a rifle or shotgun kept handy in the house or car. I'll keep those with a loaded magazine but empty chamber.

Third, there are simply firearms that I am storing. Those are kept locked up and unloaded.

Both of them satin the house for 45 minutes waiting for the deputy with the bear n the other side of the window?

With an unloaded shotgun?

Sounds like they might take the term "cheesehead" literally.
