I was told by the Huntington Police Chief, (not the current Chief), when I had my interview to apply for my license, that carrying openly in Huntington would be considered "brandishing", and that it was suggested that one's handgun should be carried concealed, to avoid creating a disturbance...
You cannot be shot by an unloaded gun. You can be shot by a gun that you thought was unloaded, but in fact was not.
The lesson is the same as rule of thumb. ALWAYS treat every gun as if it is loaded when handling it, and open and inspect the chamber to make certain that it in fact IS unloaded.
