Typically "loaded" is any round in the chamber or loaded magazine which is inserted into the weapon. "Unloaded" means chamber clear and empty magazine or loaded magazine removed. Civilian legal definitions are worded differently than terms like "battery" that we grew up with in the service. So if you're going to keep a weapon in the car, usually a semi-auto is preferred as you can more quickly bring it on line by inserting a loaded magazine. BTW, effective 1 JUL any adult resident of our state can conceal carry without a permit. Won't make much of a difference as a high percentage where I'm at pack anyways.

An UNLOADED weapon has no round in chamber/cylinder and either an empty magazine or NO magazine.

So without looking up the State statute "Loaded" is Magazine with Rounds Inserted into Weapon. Live round in chamber is likely not a requirement (think Revolver as the NEXT round in cylinder is the one that fires).

But look up the State Statute.

Just because a weapon isn't ready to fire doesn't mean it's unloaded.
