If his gun wasn't loaded, KR would very likely be dead.
So the intent behind carrying a loaded gun is so it actually
protects.
Edit - I say this as someone that abhors guns... Would not want one, will never own one (frankly don't really understand those that do). The point remains - in that situation, under those laws, Rittenhouse was legally able to carry the gun and (IMO from not really paying much attention to the whole thing) it served the purpose he - legally - intended.
