More people have been shot with "unloaded" guns than loaded ones.
Sorry, no one has ever been shot with an unloaded gun � it is a physical impossibility. Many people have been shot with a rifle that was believed to be unloaded, but believing a gun is unloaded does not make it so.
Exactly how thick-headed are you? Look up the words "irony" and "metaphor" in a dictionary. Get someone to explain them to you. My kids understand the statement I made.

No, the safest situation is to treat every gun as if it were loaded. Exclamation point.

Couldn't care less what your "home state" considers; that's not the focus of this discussion.

Both grow on trees and the metaphor for this discussion is that a loaded gun is a loaded gun is a loaded gun. You're trying to justify your reasoning through some rather creative circular "logic."
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
