Dally was carrying around an unloaded gun because he could scare away a soc is he had to. Also, he didn't think about this at first, but Dally was to much of a man to commit suicide so when Johnny died so when he pointed it at the police, they thought that it was loaded so they killed him which is what he wanted.

Dally carried an unloaded gun in case of trouble. If the Socs were to come he would pull it out. They would think it was loaded and run. In the end of the book it was used for suicide. He held it up to the police (of course the police thought it was loaded) they shot him so they wouldn't get shot.

He carries an unloaded gun to scare Soc's and other people, and eventually to scare the fuzz so they kill him. He wants to be killed because he only loved Johnny, and he was gone.

Does darry die in outsiders?

DARRY doesn't die in the book... But if you meant DALLY, he lost control of himself when Johnny died (because that was the only person he loved) and robbed a store. The cops chased him to the park, and when he pulled out his unloaded gun the police shot him. RIP Dally and Johnny.
