A gagzillion years ago<I had a game warden pull up along side me in my parked truck eating lunch after leaving the woods.
He said howdy then reach into the back seat and checked my Marlin 336 for any ammo.
Found none in it, INCLUDING the tube mag. Said have a good day and good hunting.
Loaded means in most states , any ammunition in the gun, which could be in a mag or tube. Muzzle loader means NO cap on nipple. Flint locks means NO load in chamber.
A NY state game warden once told me if the gun can fired just by some movements of a person, it's loaded.
SUBCHAPTER A- UNIFORM FIREARMS ACT
? 6102. Definitions.
"Loaded." A firearm is loaded if the firing chamber, the nondetachable magazine or, in the case of a revolver, any of the chambers of the cylinder contain ammunition capable of being fired. In the case of a firearm which utilizes a detachable magazine, the term shall mean a magazine suitable for use in said firearm which magazine contains such ammunition and has been inserted in the firearm or is in the same container or, where the container has multiple compartments, the same compartment thereof as the firearm. If the magazine is inserted into a pouch, holder, holster or other protective device that provides for a complete and secure enclosure of the ammunition, then the pouch, holder, holster or other protective device shall be deemed to be a separate compartment.
