sidesaddle and shell holders = loaded or unloaded?

[TZL]

Hey CG,

Would carry shotshells in a side saddle on the gun be considered unloaded and ok for transportation? or does that qualify as loaded and not ok because its physically touching the gun?

[ohsmily]

unloaded
Case law has dictated that it must be in a firing position i.e. in a magazine that is inserted (or a part of) the gun, or in the chamber, in order to be considered loaded.

Note: ignorant LEO will not likely know this and may hassle you.

guess its unloaded and i'm good to go

now if i could just find a side saddle to go with my ATI top folder and ATI top shell holder so i could have lots of zombie ammo

6 + 1 in the tube, 5 on the folding ATI and 4-6 on a side saddles = 16-18 zombies !
