Loaded magazine

[Rude Robert]

okay, i just got off of work sorry i didnt search this for answers. I like to hunt ground squirrels with my ar. so, if i am crossing a road, I drop the magazine(loaded), and then I reload once i cross. so, is my loaded magazine illegal??

[tcrpe]

Is it a loaded magazine-clip, or just a loaded magazine?

[P.Charm]

huh?

[cdtx2001]

There is no problem with having a loaded magazine, unless you are a felon or gang member. There are some stipulations about loaded magazines that come into play, but again only if you are a felon or gang member.

Otherwise a loaded magazine is just that.

It's illegal if you have a loaded magazine-clip and a shoulder thing that goes up.

Depends, is the magazine being carried by a chicken?

well if you drop a load before you cross the road, by the time you reach the other side you will feel 10 lbs lighter.

I always like to have a magazine with me when I drop a load.

And onion rings ...

But, to get back to the question, as cdtx2001 notes, unless you are engaged in armed criminal action or are part of a street gang, a loaded magazine with an unloaded gun should be no problem.
