Loaded BP?

[Travis299]

Is a BP rifle without a primer considered unloaded by game wardens or must the powder charge & bullet be removed?

Different states have different laws. In mine if the primer is removed its considered unloaded according to the ranger i contacted.

In VT it's not loaded if it's not primed, but the other 49 states have their own rules.

Tennessee: No primer - unloaded

If no primer, cap or powder in the pan of a rock lock, its considered unloaded for the purpose of transporting here in Pennsylvania

no primer is legal NJ, NY & Connecticut, 3 of the most anti law states. If Cali is same Im sure its national.

Same in Michigan, no ignition/not loaded. Although I did spend an hour in handcuffs on the side of the road trying to convince a intercity cop that that was the law. He was all bent out of shape about my Ruger Old Army .45. I finally got his supervisor to get the area DNR officer out of bed. Needless to say I didn't make to hunt on time.
