You are traveling to Sacramento by plane if Im a cop can you carry your concealed weapon?
This is a question which needs to be directed to the TSA. As you are traveling to California, if you are not a California resident, you'd be best advised also to contact the California Department of Justice regarding your abilities to carry a concealed firearm there. They may not recognized your position as an out-of-state police officer as justification to carry a concealed firearm, or may require you to obtain a non-resident permit to carry a concealed firearm in the state. Before you depart, you can contact the local TSA representative either by going to the airport in person, or by phone. I would advise you to do this well in advance of your flight, as it is not likely to be a particular fast process.
Can you be charged for having an empty firearm?
It depends. In Tennesee, there is a charge for illegal possession of a firearm, which is simply carrying an unauthorized firearm, and can be a misdemeanor. There is also "intent to go armed" which can be a felony. If the gun is not loaded, the charge will probably be the former, if the officer doesn't think you were up to anything bad.

Is a concealed carry license from Alaska valid in North Carolina?
According to the Carry Concealed website (see related link 'Carry Concealed'), yes, it is. However, CCW reciprocity is subject to unannounced changes, and someone traveling from Alaska with a CCW needs to contact the North Carolina State Police or North Carolina Department of Justice to verify that the state of North Carolina continues to maintain reciprocity with Alaska. This should be done by email, so that the response is documented, and a copy of this email should be retained at all times, along with concealed carry permit and photo ID. Anyone from out of state who will be carrying concealed in the state of North Carolina should also request information on concealed carry laws in North Carolina, as they tend to differ quite a bit from other CCW states, and be made aware that, in North Carolina, any CCW holder has an obligation to disclose this to any police officer who approaches them, whether or not they are carrying a handgun while being approached.
