Anything more than 7 rounds in a mag in NYC is a felony. The cops REALLY don't like you carrying a 45. No idea why? But It's not against the law... YET!!!
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but one time I got pulled over for Not stopping for 3 seconds at a stop sign (I'm not kidding) and there is duty to inform here. I told the officer I was carrying, He asked me to get out of the car, he took my gun and asked "Why do you need such a big gun? Are you planning on doing something?" I ignored him. He then asked me if he could search me, I said no. He asked if I had any other weapons, I said no, but I have my extra mag IWB. I got yelled at! What do you think? you're in Vietnam? Why do you need so many rounds? I asked if it was against the law, he said no, so I said.. Talk to the chief and get the law changed so we can carry a regular sized magazine and I won't need to carry an additional Mag.
All in all I was there over 45 minutes arguing with the cop, he removed the mag and gave me the gun back while holding the mag "I'll give it back when we're done". I said officer... WHATT?!!! (Angrily), just to let you know.. you're a ******* idiot.. (Yes that's exactly how I said it), funny thing is he replied with such a calm voice.. Why? Because you just handed me a loaded gun... This idiot didn't realize that I carry with one in the chamber... He sighed and handed me the mags back and left. I was dying laughing.
Long story short.. NYC is the biggest anti gun city I have EVER visited. Funny thing is? He forgot about the stop sign! hahaha
