Had the following situation come up in game, and I was wondering what in the rules prevented it. A player was wielding a crossbow, and was frustrated because it was taking up his minor actions. He proceeded to buy a half dozen of them and strap them about his person. From then on, if he wanted his minor action for something he'd simply drop the crossbow, and Quick Draw a fresh, loaded one when he wanted to attack.
Now, it's easy to just rule against the tactic. But I'm not looking for advice in stopping him, I'm looking for any real hard-and-fast rules in 4e about it. Does anything explicitly say you can't wander around with a loaded crossbow?
