Thread: Leaving magazines loaded (legal issues?)

How much of a fucking idiot will I look if my car gets taken with my guns in it??????


The law is the law, and I intend not to break it.

But it also says I cannot leave them un attended.

would you @systolic leave your guns in the car if you went for a crap?

It’s pretty obvious: the law requires you to shit in your car.

Doesn't the rma enter into this discussion at this point?
Discharge consents, etc .......

This seems to be a back and forth argument going on for years. I cannot site any specific cases, but I have been told that police policy, is that a loaded mag = a loaded gun (with relation to vehicles at least).

Now for another cool story, one of the local lads is getting taken to court because police are trying to go him for illegal hunting, I have talked to him about the case, and he tells me that local police have a policy, where they don't care if your rifle has an empty mag. If you have a firearm and ammunition in your vehicle, and they suspect you might be willing shoot at a deer on the road they will go you for it. His lawyer tells him that cases like that are common in this part of the country, and police offer diversion and a warning letter. They did the same to him, but I told him to fight it or he is admitting guilt. That is one mans side of the story.

a service station forecourt IS a publc place...so is a yard without a locked gate.
my guns are left in my vechile but arent unatended...my big hairy black bitch sits in car with them.....now you could reach into car and try to remove them,she MIGHT think you are ok but I be fucked if Id be willing to try it,she has bitten 4 people who looked at her sideways while in our home turf (yes Im aware how bad that is and manage it as much as we can,the day I have to put her down will break my heart)....

that's why a lever or a semi is good.

Doubt many people forget those bolts haha.

What if you only own a motorcycle or a work car? Hard to get a lock box for those

Harden the fingers up a bit so loading those mags comes easygoing.
