I've learned not to use the term "clip" with respect to a semi auto. However, what exactly is the difference? What IS a clip? Is it a matter of having exposed ammunition (as in feeding a belt through a gun) vs. having it covered (as in a magazine)? Thanks.

None should be stored in a couch Especially with a round in the pipe. Most couches have wood slats under the cushion. Enough moving and wallowing around could possibly cause a discharge. Not likely, but they don't call them "accidental" for nothing.

Hiding a loaded gun in a couch with a 3 year old... is pretty foolish and then after he's already found it, putting it back there again?
This woman is luck it was only her knee that got shot... Someone up stairs has given her 2 chances to learn her lesson... that's more than many get..

Another person killed by gun ignorance. She died from being shot in the knee?
To: On the Road to Serfdom
"The three year-old picked up the gun and fired it - there was a round still in the chamber - striking the mother in the knee,"
Low hits are usually caused by jerking the trigger. Next time squeeeeze more slowly, and shoot from a highchair.

And you don't read prior comments before making your smart ass comments. No, we make smartass comments in response to dumbass comments before we read the rest of the thread. That is the way we do things around here. If we all read all the way through the thread before we replied, we would never get to make our smartass comments.

Officer Crum wants this case to serve as a reminder to other gun owners to always lock the slide back, open the chamber up and feel the chamber with their finger before they assume the gun is unloaded.And this guy is an officer!?!?

This is a "clip", from an M1 Garand.
This is a Magazine.

"Police removed several guns from the home and said the boy's father had been handling the gun Saturday night.
The boy was in his father's care Sunday. His father, identified by friends and property records, is Lili Pan.
Lili Pan is the managing director of the Chinese American Association of Minnesota's Chinese Dance Theater.
Investigators said they would forward the case to the Ramsey County attorney's office, which could consider filing child-endangerment charges.
A next-door neighbor said the family has lived in the house for eight or nine years.
"They are wonderful people," Carol Christensen said. "They're great neighbors. I am so sorry this happened."

A clip hold a bunch of bullets ready to be loaded into a firearm.
A magazine goes into or attaches to the firearm and has a spring to feed individual rounds into the chamber.
I think the key difference is the ability to insert individual rounds into the guns loading mechanism.
One thing for sure, if I'm wrong a FReeper will correct me!
