A firearm, whether loaded or unloaded is always considered a dangerous weapon when used in an illegal/unlawful manner. This is because of the fear that it instills into other persons who have no way of knowing if the firearm is unloaded, or not.
No. It makes no difference if the weapon is unloaded or not.
When a firearm is in storage , being transported, or is not to be fired at the time. Firearms should not be loaded until they are to be made ready for use. They should ALWAYS be unloaded during cleaning or maintenance.
to my understanding there is no legal definition on the books for an "unloaded firearm". however as Oregon is one of the more lenient states when it comes to firearm laws and open carry is legal in most areas of the state and there is no loaded or unloaded requirement for open carry. I hope this answers your question but if not with a little more info i am sure i could help you ...
Yes. It has to be unloaded and secured, you have to declare it, and the firearm itself has to be legal both at the point of origin and at the destination.

Except when hunting waterfowl from a boat, unloaded. When hunting, muzzle up.
Open the bolt, visually inspect chamber for presence of cartridges.
