This law applies to both loaded and unloaded firearms, and there are specified penalties for violations, including fines and jail time. Option B is incorrect because it implies that there are no laws at all, which is not true. Option C is incorrect because it states that the laws only apply to loaded firearms, when in fact they apply to all firearms.
