Magazine:
a room or place for keeping gunpowder and other explosives, as in a fort or on a warship.
a building or place for keeping military stores, as arms, ammunition, or provisions.
Clip (cartridge clip, Ammunition clip)
a metal frame or container holding cartridges for a magazine rifle or automatic pistol.
a metallic container holding cartridges for an automatic firearm
but really why get so bent out of shape over it?
it would be different if someone was referring to a semi automatic rifle as a machine gun in my opinion
Hey head into the magazine room and grab a few clips of ammo!!! lol

Aside from the sign and its wording, are all of you guys aware of the tragic mishap months ago at a gun show in Bloomington, IL?
Somebody brought in a Mini 14. It might have already had a round in the chamber when it was bought into the show, possibly in the magazine.
A visitor at the table apparently touched the trigger and the round seriously injured a bystander and wounded two other visitors.
Correct me if needed, as this is what I seem to remember from the newspaper article and other accounts on a gun website.
Maybe there should be a second person to check that both visitors' guns and sellers' guns (the night before) are empty.
If they want to call a clip a magazine, so be it. But are these and the chambers empty each day of the show?

What is the big deal about using "clip" for "magazine"? Yes, they are different things but most of us know that the two names are used to mean the same thing, the little thing that holds your ammo in the gun. The words have been interchangeable for as long as I've been shooting and that is a long time. Lighten up.

The sign is not a prohibitory statement.
It is simply declaring what products you should not expect to find at the show. There are...
No loaded guns, no clips, no ammo available today. Sorry.
