transport question

I normally transport my handguns locked inside a locked case with empty mags in the trunk. Also in the trunk is an unlocked bag with ammo, muffs, glasses, etc.

 

Can I load my mags and keep them in the bag with the other ammo? Can I load speedloaders and keep them in the bag?

 

Thanks,

Blue1

As long as they are separate. As in, to my understanding (IANAL), not loaded into the gun. More voices will chime in, probably with more experience and understanding than I have. I keep mine in a range bag, with many individual pockets that meet MY definition of separate. Listen to the wise advice that Im sure will follow, and take all of the info and decide what works best for you.

You should probably not load your mags and transport them that way. While I think it is difficult for anyone to say a loaded mag could be construed as a loaded gun, apparently there was a court case in NJ, handled by Nappen, that said otherwise. I don't have the details as to what exactly happened, but why take the chance.

 

Ammo does not need to stored separate from the gun when transporting, the law says only that the gun can't be loaded.

Guns need to be transported unloaded. Sometimes the police/court will define a loaded gun as a gun with a loaded magazine in close proximity. An unloaded gun locked in a locked case with loaded magazines in another bag is probably ok. Probably. Personally, I would transport everything unloaded, ammo in a separate case and load at the range just to be on the conservative side but there is not a clear legal requirement to do so.

There is no requirement for magazines to be unloaded (assuming they are not inserted into the firearm).

 

There is no requirement for the ammunition to be in a separate bag/case/compartment from the firearm.

 

If the firearm is in a locked trunk, there is no requirement for the case they are in to be locked.

 

Anything to the contrary is not a requirement, only a suggestion by someone who is likely paranoid because of this states reputation.

Because my range time is rare and precious and because I purchased so many spare mags with the concept of spend your time shooting not reloading,I transport with unloaded guns in locked hard case and the balance of range gear, including loaded mags,speed loaders and extra ammo in a separate bag{I drive a estate wagon}. I do believe this has to be one of the most frequently asked questions on this forum and one of the first I asked also.As johnoutdoors quite succinctly said ,you have to decide what works for you and satisfies your comfort level.

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
