I'll go with this, since the only other choice offered is denial.
sitting around and transfering chambered are very different than having a loaded magazine with a block inbetween it and the chamber and firing pin. [don't even have kids but I won't even chamber at home, safeties are off though-really don't want to rely on them? plus my racking is more ingrained and I think when I'm freaking out it will be easier even calming possibly to rack up compared to fumbling with a safety?]
'' matter if guns even have a safety '' aren't those really only useful after you've chambered a round (unless you are really worried about click noises)? you skipped the question by the way.
I'll say it again now for those with poor reading comprehension, I said in the first post I was pretty sure it was the law and responded in the third that I understood after it was confirmed and that if someone would have said otherwise I would have needed hard proof to go ahead and try transferring with a loaded magazine.
still noones come up with any reason for it being this way except its supposedly ''safer'' as long as a round isn't in the chamber whats the difference, mags are probably a safer place than bumping around in some cases? I would bet the first step was you couldn't have it cocked if you didn't have a permit?
So you want to know "why" the law is the law?

And this is the law you decided to go after the logic on

IMHO law and logic rarely belong in the same sentence.
It is the law because someone wrote it on paper and some other folks passed it. If you want to fight it, go for it, I am all for a repeal of it.
