Cheat!ed Item with Fire Arms

A tangent came up in a 101 thread regarding whether you can get the Fire Arms empty Hands bonus if you have a Handed Item that has Cheat! attached:

Didn't this come up with Fire Arms at some point, with a resolution that you don't get the "empty hands" bonus because even though Cheat! would let you ignore the Hand requirement to carry more items, it doesn't actually make it a zero-Hand item that leaves your Hands empty?

Or am I misremembering that ruling?

The answer, is that the original response covers this situation too and the ruling is here. You treat a Cheat!ed Item as if it uses 0 Hands for the purposes of Fire Arms.
