Yep, I guess if they’d called the thing a “clip,” then by now this thread would have had at least a hundred posts!
Even if an “Only One” left that magazine on a plane, loaded magazines by themselves are harmless. Oh, they’ll scare a hoplophobic liberal into peeing their pants, but without a barrel and a striker, they are actually LESS dangerous and more stable than unlit Black Cat firecrackers.
Yes, but they have to subtract 10 points for saying it had bullets in it. Thus total score of -9.
Magazines hold cartridges, no?

Well, yeah, but strictly speaking, the cartridges almost surely had bullets still in them — so maybe we only need to subtract five points.

Yesterday Tucson KGUN TV’s web site reported it as a “clip” for the cop’s “service revolver”.
So, with all of the enhanced security, this guy got through with a loaded magazine?
Note to self...read the friggin story before posting!
It would be interesting to know if the agent lost the magazine from the weapon he was carrying, or if this was a spare magazine. With a good holster, the chances of accidentally pushing the magazine release would be very minimal, so I’m guessing this was a spare magazine. I’d be interested in hearing how most people that have a concealed carry license keep a spare magazine on their person.
