Reply #10: It is virtually impossible to discern if many types of firearms are loaded or not. [View All]

Pretty much all handguns, rifles, and shotguns can't have their status read simply by eyeballing them.

Well, if you look really close at a revolver you can tell.



With semi-auto handguns and some rifles, it's easy enough to tell if there is a magazine in the gun or not, but virtually impossible to tell if there's a round chambered and therefore if the gun is technically loaded or not.


It's stupid to outlaw open-carry of loaded guns but unloaded guns. Solve the problem by making concealed-carry permits shall-issue and move on to fixing the Californian economy!
