Sure it's "unloaded", there all "unloaded." Though if it's In Your face I only have one question, are you feeling lucky?

NOYB. None of your business. 
This is kind of like asking, where do you hide your most valuable stuff, or the key to your front door. Or, does your wife entertain visitors....
Some things are best left alone.

Just my EDC, however, I treat them all as if they were loaded!

Just a question. Not taking names and reporting nothing. Probably illegal in some states.
I keep two pump shotguns ... a carbine...semi auto pistol and revolver loaded all the time.

Yep, it was just a question. Someone doesn't want to answer, fine. No reason to get riled about it. Me, my wife has her frying pan. Don't cross her!fortyshooter wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 6:50 pmJust a question. Not taking names and reporting nothing. Probably illegal in some states.
