Serious question here, are guns allowed to be stored loaded in the United States? Gun laws here are really strict, guns are not stored loaded. To the point where while hunting you’re supposed to keep the gun clear right up until you intend to shoot the game. Then immediately clear it when you’re done. Not that everyone follows that rule but it’s there. The idea of putting a gun away still loaded is insane and this would be a slam dunk case here on that alone.
I assume in the US people who are afraid of “home invasions” and similar rationalise that they need to be able to access a weapon in an emergency without being slowed down by rules like that. Which does make sense, if you live in a post-apocalyptic video game.
Storing them loaded? There are Americans who keep loaded rifles/shotguns right next to their front door.
There are basically no rules about firearms in the US because the gun lobby has successfully convinced the majority of Americans that any gun legislation, no matter how reasonable or well intentioned it may be, is an encroachment on their constitutional rights.

Never mind the fact that when the gun control laws were originally written, to shoot a gun twice within 5 minutes was considered fast reloading.
Special thanks to Antonin Scalia for his bullshit opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller
Yes, USians are allowed to store guns loaded.
