30 cents a round seems to be the going price at many internet stores,
but I don't mess with stripper clips.

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.

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.

I would want to check that before I did it. Simply having a handgun in
the passenger compartment was going to get you a big hassle when I
lived there, loaded or not.
It had to be in a case or a holster with a flap, away from the drivers
and passengers with the ammo separated from the handgun.

Yes, in a box or a holster. And, he may have said gun in the trunk and ammo in the
console, or glovebox or whatever. The main point was whether or not magazines could
be loaded.

They can.

They can.

He also said the gun should be locked, with either a cable or trigger lock, and that
the key should not be with the lock. For me, he suggested I call his dad first, make
an appointment, have his dad email me confirmation of the appointment and carry that
with the gun to provide the legitimate reason for transporting the gun into Maryland.

I'm surprised I don't have to write the Maryland government and get a one-time
'Hazardous Cargo' permit at a cost of a reasonable $50 or so.
