I doubt your AR will even use stripper clips. I can see why you don't
mess with them. My M1A can directly charge the magazine in the gun
from the top with a stripper clip and the bolt kicks it out of the
holder when you close it.


The PMAGs I use can be loaded with stripper clips. I have no reason to
do that, though.

I agree, that is not that big a deal if you are just loading on the
bench but being able to load the mag in the gun is handy.
You can get 10 rounds in the gun almost as fast as a magazine change,
either charging a dry mag or just topping one up. It is the way you
deal with zombie pop bottle attacks ;-)

I really have not done this at the range because I usually just take 3
or 4 charged magazines (30s) with me and that is about all I want to
shoot that gun before I want to try something else.
These days I only go when the electrical contractors association have
their "shoot". (a day of eating, socializing and networking at the
range)
Typically I will shoot 90 or 120 rounds of 308, 2 boxes of 12ga and a
box each of .45 and one of either 9mm or 380.
That gets "shooting" out of my system for a while.


I drive to the ranges with my firearms in their cases/bags, my mags
empty, and my ammo in a separate range bag. Driving around here with
loaded mags will get you in a heap of trouble if you are stopped by the
boys in blue for any reason. It's no big deal to load up a PMAG or a
Ruger Mark III mag.



Even if you have a concealed carry permit? I can drive around with a
loaded handgun on my person or anywhere in the vehicle where I have
direct control. Long guns are different. They have to be in a locked
case and unloaded.



I could do that, but at the moment, I really don't own a handgun I'd
consider for "concealed" use, so I don't bother. I really only got the
permit as a lark, since my local lawyer said he could do it for me.

That is a silly law.
Besides you are supposed to have a CCW that would allow you to have
your guns loaded on your person.
I still have the guns separate from the ammo (different containers) so
I am not sure why it would be illegal, even in the people's republic
of Md.
When I lived there you could have a loaded long gun in your car. That
was a long time ago tho when it was still the "free state"


I have no reason to drive around with a loaded firearm. Now, if I were
traveling south on I-95, I'd consider it where legal, but the worse
state I'd go through to get to north Florida, South Carolina, doesn't
recognize my carry permit.

Why would you drive around with a loaded rifle or shotgun in your car?
This ain't Montana or Wyoming.

You'll load AR mags by hand, but won't shoot a single action pistol because it's to fiddly?

With stripper clip ammo and a spoon, I can fully load a 30 round mag before you get 6 or 8 rounds in by hand.

I'm not in any hurry to load my AR mags. Besides, I have a mag loader
that does a nice job with my cooperation. Yeah, I don't like the loading
gates on SA revolvers. Pushing each empty shell out is a pain in the ass.

I don't believe that driving with a loaded magazine is illegal in MD, as long as it
is separate from the gun.

The son of Gigi's Gun Shop, who is a deputy with the Calvert County Sheriff's office
agrees. If a handgun is in the center console and the filled magazines are in the
trunk, there is no problem.

I was surprised to learn that I could ask Gigi's to hold a firearm in their safe
while I am at Solomon's rec center. They I could bring a grandson to shoot and not
worry about having a firearm on a military installation.

Ammo can be transported in Maryland as long as it's separate from the firearm and
can't be quickly loaded into the firearm. The ammo can be in a magazine, box, bag, or
whatever.

I-95 and South Carolina scares you? That's just silly! As long as you don't act like a yankee asshat, you'll be fine.

I, however, would want to carry in and around Baltimore and certain other areas of MD.
