I don't know anything about counting rounds in lockport. I have read the state police policy on the issue of when they can check how many rounds you have in a pistol. It came down to this. If simply checking to see if a person has a permit you can not check the magazine for bullets. A probable cause issue. With an automatic you get seven in the mag and 1 in the chamber. Yea I know you want more and so do I but I can survive on 8 rounds.
NY(UN)SAFE originally called out 7 round magazine limit. Judge Scratchy Balls ruling overturned that in the western federal court district of NY, "allowing" us to carry 10 rounds when in those specific counties that are basically west of Rochester. Supposedly, NY State Police have said they will go along with allowing 10 rounds across the state.
I carry 10+1. Fuck it.
