Thanks everyone for your assistance. I have completed the task. Handgunlaw.us will be updated with this info around 1/1/11. Reason for the delay? Every state page will have to be updated then as Iowa will honors all other states permits/licenses. Thanks Again and Stay safe, Gary Slider
Handgunlaw.us is going to add a section to each states page that gives the state law on when a firearm is considered loaded. This varies widely from state to state. What I am looking for is the Statute that defines "When is a firearm loaded. I don't need the link to the law I just need the Alpha/Numeric for your states code. I can look it up easily myself. Example of what I need is "76-10-502" like the Utah Law below. There may be more than one section in a states statutes that defines this and there could be definitions on when a firearm is loaded in the States Administrative Rules also. This info will be added to each states page on or about 1/1/11 as that is when Iowa goes Shall Issue and honors every states permit/license. I have to update every states page at that time and this would be a great time to do it. Any assistance you could give handgunlaw.us would be greatly appreciated. I could find all this material myself but would have to go through all the states laws which would take many hours. Thank you for any assistance you can give handgunlaw.us in this matter and the time you will save me.
76-10-502. When weapon deemed loaded.
(1) For the purpose of this chapter, any pistol, revolver, shotgun, rifle, or other weapon described in this part shall be deemed to be loaded when there is an unexpended cartridge, shell, or projectile in the firing position.
(2) Pistols and revolvers shall also be deemed to be loaded when an unexpended cartridge, shell, or projectile is in a position whereby the manual operation of any mechanism once would cause the unexpended cartridge, shell, or projectile to be fired.
(3) A muzzle loading firearm shall be deemed to be loaded when it is capped or primed and has a powder charge and ball or shot in the barrel or cylinders.
