Let's break it down a bit further...The possession of loaded firearms, ammunition, loaded projectile firing devices, bows and arrows, crossbows, or other weapons is prohibited
The possession of loaded firearms is prohibited.
The possession of ammunition is prohibited.
The possession of loaded projectile firing devices is prohibited.
That pretty much says firearms, empty or loaded, are illlegal. It's also illegal to be in possession of live ammunition. And, what good is a firearm without ammunition? Might as well carry a hammer.

That being said, I haven't read anything past page 1, so perhaps I'm not up to speed on where this thread currently stands.
