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? :hmm:

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

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.

true true. but there was a time when people still believed they were told why and when those that perform said writing and passing would do so and a time before that that they actually were told and a time before that in which the people actually influenced the law, Remember? as far as wanting to know the logic of it, I think I said origin which seemed like a decent possibility since there are a few learned old guys here? as far as changing the law, I never even said I wanted too just said that I think its an unnecessary pain to empty or remove a mag. I'm only familiar with my guns though where the block isn't going to jiggle around on its own enough to chamber a round. I guess there are guns where thats different, so this being the law makes good sense then! I wouldn't vote against a repeal though. too bad nobodies asking and I wouldn't want to bother the good folks who are trying to get us silencers time with this. hmmmm?

so my new one would be to actual 870 owners!

I tried pushing the loading door up and pressing the shell retaining tab on mine but to no avail the back of the shell hits the the front of that door so I have to put it down and they have to come out of the breech.

has anyone modded theres just to avoid dumping shells out the breech for this silly reason. I wouldn't hack at mine because it feeds great maybe if you made a video showing the mod then proving it worked well but I still doubt I'd mod to avoid the slight inconvenience.

You are doing it wrong, it will work. Have you looked on YouTube? Do you know how to disassemble it to clean it?

I've always transported "long guns" cased and unloaded because there won't be any issues if I get pulled over while transporting them. I only carry my handgun on my person with my proper carry permit and form of ID.

If you feel the need to carry a loaded long gun in your vehicle go to school and become a police officer? Then you can also help protect and serve.
