It's best to ask the various state and local law enforcement agencies about how they interpret the law.
Just because carrying may not be a direct CCW violation, that doesn't necessarily mean that nothing will happen if someone is found to be carrying a loaded C&B pistol.
Even though there's a clear exemption in state carry law for pre-1898 guns here, the police will charge someone with reckless endangerment and confiscate the gun if someone is caught carrying a loaded pre-1898 pistol without a permit.
They don't interpret the exemption as applying to loaded guns but rather only to unloaded guns even though the law doesn't state that there's any distinction between them.
So it's important to at least ask even though there is often the suspicion that their answer will be biased.
Who wants to make a test case out of it and then need to rely on the interpretation of a lower level criminal court judge and prosecutor to stay out of jail?
My point is that it doesn't always matter what the statute says as much as how law enforcement and the courts interpret it.
The written law is there if push comes to shove, but law enforcement can still have an upper hand when it comes to making arrests on the scene.
If you do end up asking law enforcement please let us know what they say.
