Word to the wise, take the course, pay your 50 bucks, and get your CCW, after that, there is no "grey" area, you are good to go.

I was pulled over (although i have a CCW) with a gun sitting in my change thingy holder, i just kept my hands on the steering wheel, said to the cop hey, there is a firearm right there just informing you. He took it, unloaded it, wrote me my ticket (fucking tint) and gave me my gun back, and the bullets back ina baggy, he didnt care at all.. and this was a Trooper, WHY? because its not illegal to have a loaded gun in the car as long as its visible or you have a CCW then it can be under your seat or hidden.

It's uh, not often I hear that one!

Just a FYI:

SB 476 is in the House awaiting a vote.

If you are unaware of what SB 476 is. Well it is a restaurant ban appeal: A change in the law to allow CCW to occur while on premise where alcohol is served as long as the carrier DOES NOT drink alcohol. Which means no more OC issues with nosy customers.

It shall be unlawful for any person to carry a loaded (a) semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol... and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine that will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition...

if (semi-auto hand gun AND rounds>20) then unlawful = true;

if (semi-auto hand gun AND rounds<20) then unlawful = false;

That's how I'm reading it...

thats what it is.

Basically, unless you have a CHP, you cant open carry a semi automatic handgun with more than 20 rounds in the magazine.

I just bought one tonight, and dont know much about them, yet. does fn make 26 round mags or are they aftermarket?

Edit: Oh and sig and beretta are the other 2 names that pop into my head for 20 round mags.

IIRC the 26rnd mags are factory stock on the FN's.

well lol, in this case you are one of the few who actually has a clue! Even when you have posted links and other links have been posted stating the specific law, still others would disagree, /sigh lol.
