  1. That would have made this whole thing easier instead of saying you can have one, but not use it for the only reason you would have it in one of these divisions...
  2. That doesn't only apply to that type of stage (even though it's hopefully the only time it would occur). If there is a magazine in your mouth after the make ready command, you are now in the COF and there is no rule that I see currently allowing that. I'm really just trying to make the point that dictating something this trivial is pointless and a simple change to the wording of a rule could end so many unnecessary arguments...
  3. Or we could all just spend our time shooting and stop worrying about something that doesn't even matter...
  4. 5.2.4.1 Should the division restrict the location of the magazines or speed loading devices, carrying them in apparel pocket(s) forward of the restriction point will be allowed providing they are not removed from the apparel pocket(s) between the “standby” command and the command “if clear, hammer down and holster”. (e.g. – a magazine may be retrieved from a front pocket to facilitate loading before the start signal or while unloading at the end of a COF without penalty). Ok, so from what I see Rule 5.2.4.1 came about as a clarification back in 2011 because of the issue with loading and unloading using the front pocket. If anything, I don't understand why it was only applied to "apparel pockets". If I decide to walk up to the line with a magazine in my mouth, this rule doesn't apply and I'm bumped to open. I just don't understand why any of this should have ever mattered when it has no scoring or safety implications...
  5. This came up a couple times this weekend and I never really heard any issues come up before... My question is, if all of the equipment rules apply between "Make Ready" and "Range is Clear", Why would loading from (during make ready) a front pocket or stowing a magazine in a front pocket when unloading in any of these divisions not also be a bump to Open?
