A friend residing in central FL tells me that at least one of the commercial ranges he uses has a rule prohibiting arriving with loaded magazines. I presume this is far beyond prohibiting arriving with loaded magazines inserted into any of the firearms.
Now, I understand that there are some states that have laws about loaded magazines in vehicles,
but I don't believe FL is one of those.
n.b. No Federal laws about transporting loaded magazines separated from firearms in Canada.
It is common practice among more advanced Canadian firearm aficionados to load ammunition into first cycle of magazines at home to maximize range time usage on arrival.
So, with that as background, any ideas/knowledge of what is the intent/purpose behind such a rule by the range operator?
Is it to generate more billable usage hours by forcing loading magazines on the line?
