Is it legal to carry....
B"H
Hello guys, how is everyone doing? I was wondering if it is legal to carry a ar 15 magazine filled with bullets on you concealed. i am planning on doing this because even though i lock up my gun all the time and leave it in a closet i just want to get rid of the final possibility of someone , some how messing with my gun in my home. i believe if i have the bullets there is no chance of any mishap occurring. i just have way too many nieces and nephews who live with me who like to climb on top of every closet and look into every corner of the house.
thank you for your opinions

Re: Is it legal to carry....
I don't see why it would be illegal. It's just a magazine.
May I suggest not letting children wantonly explore your home in the future?

Thank you for your reply. I do lock my gun with 2 locks. one on the trigger and one that goes through the magazine well and comes out of the ejection port. i was asking this question so that i can have 100% peace of mind when i know there is absolutely no ammunition at all in my home that might go off.

Why not put a cable type gun lock on your AR-15 to prevent a mag from being inserted, and then leave your mag at home?

For the safety aspect I would suggest education.
Depending on the childrens age... Eddie Eagle for the young'ins and NRA Firearms Safety in the Home course for the pre-teen & teens.
I happen to know a good NRA instructor in your area_________________________________________

Re: Is it legal to carry....
I started teaching my kids gun safety as soon as they could talk. We had a routine, they had to say three things and get the appropriate response
- May I touch it?
- Is it loaded?
- Show me!
That was so ingrained in their heads that whe my son was about 15, I asked him if he knew the three rules of gun safety and that's what he said.
Guns were demystified in my house. Just an everyday object, everyday dangerous object but nothing special.

Re: Is it legal to carry....
you have a trigger lock, so the gun can't fire.
A cable lock, so the mag will not even go in.
What are you worring about?????
If you need to, get a small fireproof lock box from Office max for 40 bucks to store the mag.
I do not know the law, but who wants to carry a AR 15 mag around all day???

Re: Is it legal to carry....
I'm pretty sure it would be legal...
But it is one ass backward way of keeping it away from kids. Like everyone else here has suggested, any of those methods of locking the gun, trigger, or magazine well would be much more efficient. Get a cable type lock like Lone Wolf suggested and carry the only key (or both keys if it comes with 2) with you instead of a loaded AR magazine...
I'm assuming you've picked up a fully loaded AR mag before...they aren't exactly the lightest thing in the world. I certainly wouldn't want to carry that around in addition to my Concealed Carry handgun + handgun magazine. That's alot of extra unnecessary weight.

I have only 2 magazines for my AR 15. I believe 60 bullets are way too much fire power to keep a bad guy out of your home until the police get to my home . am i right? i live 3 blocks from the police station.
