I have a known problem with empty magazines...

Fri Aug 04, 2017 6:40 pm

So just bought a gun with multiple magazines that came in the sale.

Do I have a problem or what...
I had to load them before I got home. Fortunately for me I had a few boxes of ammo in the car and traffic was horrid and it was stop and go so I had lots of time to kill.

For folks that know me... or not. I keep my mags loaded... and I have a "few mags"

I like to say I have more loaded in my mags than most folks have ammo.

I think loading magazine while driving is covered by distracted driving. You should have gotten a ticket.

I keep enough loaded that one could reasonably carry, a few extra empties and try to keep the rest on stripper clips with a few spoons

Pics (selfies to be sure) of driving while loading said mags with ammo.

My SHTF mags are loaded even though they are locked up.

Car gun has 2 loaded mags.

Bedside has 4 loaded mags.

Not that I'm planning to miss a lot - LOL I'd rather have more than I need, than not enough.

Sounds like you need to roll out for a IDPA shoot or five. Then you start to learn how it feels when you loose count of rounds and wonder where you dropped a magazine during reload.

I would have to have a sh*t ton of mags to hold all my ammo.
I don't have a reloading problem, I can stop any time...

All right, oldkim . . . I'm a believer, you have converted me.

I loaded up a bunch of clips today and thought of you.

Loading mags in a gunfight is poor form...
