Ok OK... This may sound dumb, but as we all know, the only dumb question is one that isn't asked. This is a 2 part OC question, so here goes.
1.) I have not been able to locate the actual statute, law in the CVC, or CA Penal Code (Same Book), can anyone give me the actual location, as so I can read it myself please.
2.) Since OC is legal as long as it's unloaded, andNOT loaded. My question is, and most certainly has to be: WHAT is the legal [definition] of unloaded and loaded?
I ask this because as we all know, for example, there is (3) legal definitions of U.S. citizen. And, depending on the [definition] of the TERM being used, or asked(as it is written for the term used) depends on your answer, or legal status. American Nationals are NOT U.S. citizens, and are entitiled to all the rights of the US Constitution, while as U.S. citizens are [Federal] citizens under FEDERAL jurisdiction, [Kitchens v. Steele] etc...
When I was in the U.S. Army, and in basic training,our drill instructor clearly told us that your weapon (M-16 in the early 80's) is NOT ["Loaded"] UNTIL a round isIN the Chamber. When you are told to "lock and load", as it was explained to us that; "Lock" means to insert a clip/magazine into the weaponuntil it locks itself in. And "Load" means to pull the charging handle back to allow a round to be enter the firing chamber, then release charging handle to fire weapon. Thus! "Locked and Loaded".
I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that IF this was the true definiton? since the US Army told us [the federal governments] definition, that one could actually OC with ammo in the magazine, and be UNLOADED, but not have the weapon LOADED, since NO round is actuallyIN the firing chamber. Does that make sense?
