As I reread it I see that it is only talking about having it loaded. I thought it said they had to show a threat of immediate harm to have one at all. That changes my thinking. Still, I don't think that particular language will pass muster because it erects an impossibly high hurdle. I will, however, fess up to having misread it the first time around.

I agree that the "can't have it loaded unless for self-defense" is the issue. That will probably get it stricken.
