At the start of that episode, you hit on a short conversation about barrels. This started me thinking about conversation barrels. Many people use conversation barrels for training. I would guess that some people use conversion barrels for their carry side arm. For a point in time I carried a conversion barrel in my Glock 27; converting it to a 9mm. After reading some discussion on this topic on Glock Talk forums, I am no longer using a conversion barrel in my carry gun. Question, is there legal liability in carrying conversion barrels in carry side arms. Does adding a conversion barrel in a carry gun constitute a modified weapon that carries with it possible criminal liability if that “modified” weapon is used in a defensive situation? This question would also apply to hand loaded ammo. Are there liabilities in carrying hand loaded ammo in a defensive situation? Thanks for doing your podcasts. keep up the good work Can I borrow a large capacity magazine? "32415. Section 32310 does not apply to the loan of a lawfully possessed large-capacity magazine between two individuals if all of the following conditions are met: (a) The person being loaned the large-capacity magazine is not prohibited by Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 29610), Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 29800), or Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 29900) of Division 9 of this title or Section 8100 or 8103 of the Welfare and Institutions Code from possessing firearms or (b) The loan of the large-capacity magazine occurs at a place or location where the possession of the large-capacity magazine is not otherwise prohibited, and the person who lends the large-capacity magazine remains in the accessible vicinity of the person to whom the large-capacity magazine is loaned." Can I modify my carry weapon? Our agency understands that some alterations made to a weapon are done for safety and usage purposes, rather than recreational reasons. Due to this, our agency is currently reviewing our past declaration of prohibition for any alterations of a weapon. At such time that we are able to post what, if any, alterations are accepted, we will update this website. Any questions will be discussed with our Range Master to determine validity and legality of alterations. Any alterations made on a weapon without the express approval from our agency will immediately result in the suspension of the existing CCW permit and possible permanent revocation of the permit.
