    My question is , if the rifles are "loaded" with blanks , is that the same as being loaded with bullet firing cartridges?
    Why would a person drive around with a rifle loaded with blanks?

    I do not know. I’m not a lawyer. I’m going to guess yes. Why do you ask?

    Shove an arrow down the barrel, just like a harpoon on whales.

    Becasue they could be honor guard or something similar.

    This exact question came up at our recent firearms rights seminar/town hall with the sheriff and Kim Stolfer. The consensus was that they're blanks. Ammunition is designed to expel a projectile.

    Yeah, you’ll be fine, you know, until you run into a hot-head with a badge.
    What are you going to say if a fly, or a piece of dirt gets in the barrel? Or, a piece of carbon dislodges and lays in the barrel?You pull the trigger on a blank and that little, tiny obstruction goes high-speed right through an eye into a brain: VOILA! You just committed murder!
    Or, did you have a grander plan? Watched too many YouTube videos and came up with a new ‘scare the pedestrians’ idea? Can’t afford a train horn for yer hooptie? No problem! Load a rifle with blanks and ‘shoot at’ some victims at the bus stop! What fun! Please, videotape it for all to enjoy! Be sure and jump out of the vehicle when the cops arrive and “I have a gun and it’s loaded with ................”. Don’t worry, you can explain to the Coroner about it just being blank ammo in the gun, and it was all just clean fun!
    Yeah, blanks in a rifle, in a vehicle. What a phenomenally brilliant idea!

    I think what he's saying is that he doesn't think the OP is in the Honor Guard.
    I don't either.

    Oh, you didn’t have your coffee yet. Ok, here’s the simple, short version.
    OP came up with a plan and asked for input.
    His plan: ride around in a car with a rifle loaded with blanks.
    Some people responded.
    I responded. My opinion is that it is a really bad plan fraught with myriad ways it could end badly.
    You came into the room and blurted out a question in a really pissy way.
    And here we are.

    Does that just about sum it up for you?

    Ok. I gave a real world example and was confused by the response.
