It doesn't work very well if it's unloaded.
He didn't ask about ammunition, he asked about carrying a long arm.
Your definitive answer was wrong.
FWIW, I believe the rifle carried by the man in Arizona was unloaded.

It had a magazine in it and he had a loaded magazine in his back pocket
I can only assume the magazine in the rifle was also loaded.
I did talk to an officer in GA while I was in a coin store buying silver coins. And the GA officer said I can walk around with a rifle slung over my shoulder anywhere I want to. He said I can probably go to more places with a rifle than a pistol because the pistol has more restrictions because it can be concealed. He advised not to do so because you could possibly be promptly shot. That was in GEORGIA. I have yet an officer to ask in TN about it. Any police officers in this forum in TN?
According to people with Chris the rifle was unloaded. On the
Arizonashooting.com forum on Monday August 17, 2009 at 3:17pm atfsux said, "We presumed that some ACORN nut might get perturbed and try to disarm him and take the gun. So, not trusting that such a person might know how to safely handle an AR, the gun was empty. However, Chris's G-19 was ready to rock, as were all the others in attendance. There were always at least 3 to 7 cops within immediate reach if something went down,...so we felt that for the safety of any idiot attempting to grab it, the item everyone would focus in on should be de-fanged. (But as you can see,...there were spare fangs at the ready.)"
