Frequently Asked Questions

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

Firearms are often shipped with multiple magazine capacities to comply with varying state laws. High-capacity magazines are typically for states without restrictions, while 10-round magazines are included for states like Washington that enforce magazine capacity limits, ensuring legal carriage for travelers.

How do magazine capacity restrictions affect concealed carry when traveling?

Magazine capacity restrictions in states like Washington mean that if you travel there with a firearm, you must use magazines that comply with their laws, often 10-round capacity. This is why manufacturers sometimes include lower-capacity magazines with firearms.

What is concealed carry reciprocity and how can it change?

Concealed carry reciprocity means states recognize each other's permits. It can change, as seen with Missouri's law allowing under-21 concealed carry, which caused some states to revoke reciprocity with Missouri, impacting permit holders' ability to carry across state lines.

What are the downsides of open carrying a firearm?

Open carrying can draw unwanted attention, potentially increasing the risk of theft. Additionally, while legally permissible in some areas, it might not be welcomed by private establishments like casinos, even if law enforcement indicates it's allowed.
