A gun in a holster DOES NOT COUNT.

I notice no one wants to take on the rifle in the $20 plastic case? Why is that different?

You have no idea if it's loaded or not, you don't even know what's in there. It could be two, loaded rifles, one pointing in each direction, with the safety off.

This is really quite silly. A holstered handgun that is not being manipulated by a human IS NOT DANGEROUS.

A holstered handgun that is not being manipulated by a human DOES NOT COUNT as being "swept".
