Dally has the unloaded heater because he says that it's good in a bluff. He doesn't use it on anyone, but near the end -SPOILER- he pulls the unloaded gun on a cop to commit suicide by officer.

The word 'heater' is another word for a gun. Dally has one because of the heightened tension between the Socs and the greasers after Bob was killed by Johnny. Dally uses his heater for bluffing or for scaring purposes only and it wasn't loaded.
