In anticipation of a legislative ban on standard capacity rifle magazines, the editors of RECOIL magazine are working with MAGPUL Industries to facilitate the delivery and distribution of 30-round PMAG rifle magazines free of charge to the citizens of Vermont in an overnight operation dubbed the “Green Mountain Airlift.”
In order to support the law-abiding gun-owners of Vermont and blunt the assault on their Second Amendment rights, RECOIL’s, Rob Curtis, will give away 1,200 30-round PMAGs on Saturday afternoon in front of the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier starting at 2pm.
We invite the public to track the shipment of magazines from MAGPUL’s Cheyenne, WY facility to Vermont using the following FedEX tracking number: 771880807512. Should the shipment be delayed, the distribution will shift to 2:30pm on the date the shipment arrives.

“We’re grateful to MAGPUL’s Duane Liptak for spearheading the overnight donation of 400 pounds of freedom to the Green Mountain State,” says Curtis. “His swift action means we will get the magazines here before Governor Phil Scott signs S.55 into law, trampling the rights of law-abiding Vermonters.”
At the moment, the Vermont legislature is finalizing passage of S.55, a gun control bill that raises the age for long gun purchases to 21, requires mandatory background checks on nearly all non-commercial private firearm transfers, bans standard capacity rifle magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and outlaws bumpstock devices.
RECOIL and MAGPUL invite the citizens of Vermont to the Statehouse at 2:30pm on Saturday March 31st to receive a free 30-round PMAG standard capacity rifle magazine and show their support for the Second Amendment of the United States. A representative from the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs will be on hand to accept donations that will fuel the legal challenge to the new restrictions.

MAGPUL through the assistance of RECOIL WEB has stepped up to the plate and will help Vermont residents in their time of need. This isn't the first time that MAGPUL has done something like this. In 2013, MAGPUL took action in the Boulder Airlift and gave free PMAGs to Colorado Residents after their mag ban was passed.



As stated on their Instagram Account and website:

I'll be there with my sons, they already own all the magazines in the house but a few more can't hurt. Thanks Magpul!

My daughter and I will also be there. We can always put a couple of extra magazines to good use. But the real reason we'll be there is to help give the libtards heartburn.

Side question: anybody here know for certain what the carry laws are on the Statehouse grounds?

Not sure what the actual law is but at a rally on the steps a few years back it was mentioned that we were in a gun free zone.  I will say that apparently the dems don’t really fear guns that much because there are no security measures even to get in the building.  At least not this past Tuesday.

Thanks, buddy. Was just checking, I'd figured to leave the EDC in the car. I don't need a legal hassle. And our side certainly doesn't need a black eye right now. After all, politicians prefer unarmed peasants.

THANK YOU MAGPUL AND RECOIL!
