Jorge Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is there a difference in penalties when a shooter breaks the 170 with a loaded firearm, a chambered round firearm, or an empty, action opened firearm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nope, penalty is the same regardless of the status (loaded, loaded and chambered, OR unloaded) of the firearm. If at the firing line and you break the 170 degree boundary, you have earned a SDQ penalty. See bottom of page 20 of the shooter's handbook where the SDQ penalty section is. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 So noted. Will advise all who need to know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Now, if other folks are being swept by that muzzle, it's a SDQ, or an MDQ if the gun was loaded. So, make sure you understand why a call is being made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
