AL45, is there some reason you can't get a carry permit? If so, and carrying unloaded is your only option, it's at least an option.

Why keep the ammo in a separate pocket though? I think that just adds an extra step.

In addition, see if there's a legal definition of "unloaded" in your state's law. For instance, I believe a black powder revolver in many states is considered unloaded if the hammer is down on an empty chamber, since the chamber is what's loaded. It's possible they view regular revolvers this way.
