Frequently Asked Questions

Why do firearms sometimes ship with both high-capacity and 10-round magazines?

Firearms are often shipped with both high-capacity and lower-capacity magazines to comply with varying state laws. States like Washington have magazine capacity restrictions, meaning a firearm purchased there might come with a 10-round magazine to be legal, while the same model sold elsewhere could include a higher-capacity one.

How do magazine capacity restrictions affect concealed carry when traveling?

When traveling across state lines, you must adhere to the firearm and magazine capacity laws of each state you enter. If a state has a magazine capacity limit (e.g., 10 rounds), you cannot legally carry a firearm with a magazine exceeding that limit, even if it's legal in your home state.

What are the implications of Missouri's recent concealed carry law changes?

Missouri updated its laws to allow individuals aged 19 and older to obtain a concealed carry permit after passing a state-required class. This change has led to some other states revoking their reciprocity agreements with Missouri, meaning Missouri permit holders may no longer be able to legally carry concealed in those states.

What are the risks associated with open carrying a firearm?

Even where legal, open carrying a firearm can draw significant unwanted attention. It may also increase the risk of your firearm being stolen. Additionally, while law enforcement may say it's legal, private establishments like casinos might have their own policies against it.
