"Unloaded" as in it does not have any ammunition. It is unloaded.
A firearm, whether loaded or unloaded is always considered a dangerous weapon when used in an illegal/unlawful manner. This is because of the fear that it instills into other persons who have no way of knowing if the firearm is unloaded, or not.
No. It makes no difference if the weapon is unloaded or not.
Yes. It has to be unloaded and secured, you have to declare it, and the firearm itself has to be legal both at the point of origin and at the destination.
Step 1- ALWAYS- Determine that the weapon is unloaded. HOW this is done varies with the type of firearm, but it should ALWAYS be the first step.
Open the bolt, inspect the magazine and chamber.
If the firearm is unloaded, in a case, and locked in the trunk or toolbox of a pickup, yes, should be legal. There is a Federal law known as Peaceable Journey that covers this. If you do not have a trunk or toolbox, then unloaded, and in a locked case (not the glove box).
Except when hunting waterfowl from a boat, unloaded. When hunting, muzzle up.
