Subject: Why did Captain Keyes carry around an unloaded pistol?

Real Life fact:

Officers aboard a naval ship almost always have a weapon at hand. Wither there combat knife or pistol.

You are not allowed to carry loaded weapons aboard the ship, unless:

Under Attack
In Ceremony
Active Wartime in known hostile areas

Ammo is normally stored in the Armory, or the Captain's personal safe.

You now owe me a cookie, I prefer Choclate Chip.

Okay first off
They were being boarded so would it be that bad to ask someone to give him some ammo
Second they knew they were in a hostile area and were at war
Third
Why do they carry a gun without ammo

Good post, but there are a few things:

1: It was most definitively an "Active Wartime", as for the hostile area thing, the whole galaxy was a hostile area.

2: They were under attack.

3: They didn't have any ammo anywhere on the bridge, come on, if they are suddenly boarded they don't have time to walk way down to the armory for ammo. Besides, everyone on the bridge is needed to command the ship, they cant just walk away to go get ammo.

Call a marine to grab some

First of all he is a commanding officer of a major ship and who is going to tell or know, second of all Reach was a known hostile environment due to the mass attack on it and I don't think he would have put it away.
