Frequently Asked Questions

Why do firearms sometimes come with 10-round magazines instead of higher capacity ones?

Firearms are often shipped with lower-capacity magazines, such as 10-rounders, to comply with state laws that restrict magazine capacity. This is particularly common when a firearm is destined for a state like Washington, which has such regulations, ensuring the buyer can legally possess and carry the firearm.

How do magazine capacity restrictions affect concealed carry when traveling between states?

Magazine capacity restrictions in one state can significantly impact concealed carry when traveling. If you carry a firearm into a state with stricter limits than your home state, you must adhere to the local laws. This is why firearms are sometimes sold with lower-capacity magazines to ensure compliance across state lines.

What are the implications of Missouri changing its concealed carry age to 19?

Missouri's decision to allow individuals aged 19 and older to obtain a concealed carry permit has led to some other states revoking reciprocity. This means that while Missouri residents under 21 can carry legally in their state, their permits may not be recognized in states that maintain a 21-year-old minimum for concealed carry.

Is open carrying a firearm generally recommended?

While legal in some areas, open carrying is often discouraged by individuals due to concerns about drawing unwanted attention, increasing the risk of theft, and potential issues with private establishments. Even if legally permitted by law enforcement, it may not be welcomed by all businesses or individuals.
