Stripper clips are used to put rounds into a magazine.

You do not attach a stripper clip to a weapon and rock on.

Context my friend.

The "clip" of 8 30-06 rounds goes into the Garand w/the ammo. The "clip" is what "pings" on the way out.

Stripper-clips are for clip-slotted bolt actions, AR's, and SKS's's's.

So M1s use clips, I stand corrected!

To be exact it’s a “en bloc clip” according to my google powers

No. Winning a gunfight requires extreme power, noise, recoil and muzzle flash.
Non-Air Force types call this “superior firepower” and “violence of action”. 😉

We get what you mean though, and it’s an absolute fact. For the most part.

I thought it was illegal to drive with a loaded weapon of any kind in your vehicle

@Sum1

Not if you are legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon. In that case there is no need to remove the round from the chamber.

This explains the State's Attorney General's position on ND's Constitutional Carry law.

https://attorneygeneral.nd.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2017-L-07.pdf

Importantly, in the CC, a "loaded" firearm is basically a rifle or pistol with a round in the chamber. A firearm with ammo in the magazine is not "loaded". When it comes to a revolver, any chamber of the revolver holding a live round is considered loaded.

Despite ND going the Constitutional Carry route, I have no intention of giving up my Concealed Weapon License.

I'm more worried about firing pin spring. I pull the trigger before closing the bolt to relax the spring. It might not be crucial on modern rifles but it's the way I was taught.
You may know this: You don't have to dry fire a bolt gun. Hold the trigger back when closing the bolt.
FUN FACT: In the Air Farce, armorers dry fire ARs and store them "rack safe".

Ask a Vietnam Vet that carried a M-16 if they had 20 rounds in their 20 round Mags
Once a month we had to strip our mags to stretch the springs and QC the ammo. It was fun. I used to disassemble qual issue mags to actually stretch the spring because I'm superior, excellent and superlative in providing community based law enforcement and peak nuclear security.

I know my AR's work better with a couple less rounds in the 10 and 20 round mags
