Mabey an actual response would help a little more than forget it! Has this subject just been beat to death or does no body really know?

+1, this should provide all the info you need. There was just a very long thread on the legalities of high cap mags. In short though, the Fed ban has no impact on anything. If you owned the high caps in CA prior to the CA ban, they're completely legal to use in any gun regardless of when you purchased the gun. Possession of high caps in CA is not controlled, only the sale, importation, giving, lending, or buying of them is. |

im so confused, all I can say is as long as you had them in CA before the law they are legal.

Thanks for the link. Good info here. I guess you just need to make sure you have a recipt for you're purchase prior to 2000. It seems rather un enforcable.???

I'm willing to bet, very, very few have receipts for magazines purchased before 2000. The burden is on them to prove that you broke the law, not the other way around. As long as you're not doing something obvious like owning magazines that weren't even in existence before the ban, you should be fine. |

There are no laws that says you couldn't purchase regular capacity (hi-cap) magazines before 2000 regardless of your age. As long as those magazines were available for sale before 2000 and they're not stamped with dates, I'd like to know how they're going to prove that you got them after 2000. Some here might say that they'll prosecute you anyways. If so, I'd like to see a documented case of this happening.

This is why I brought this up. It's a very intresting topic that could go many ways. I've taken apart my ar 30 rd. mags to make sure their were no markings and there were non. I've looked on my 33 & 17 rd. glock mags and none either. There is a 5 on the inside of the plastic plunger that the first round sits on but no other #'s. My 10 round mags have serial #'s on them.

This law is going to be effective in about 2020 when some 18yo, in possession of a 30rd mag, gets tagged with a Felony.

I imagine it is going to be one of those things where everyone has it, but noone talks about it. Its just too easy, too tempting, and too difficult for law enforcement to prove it isn't legal.

How else is a person suppost to find aout about these things? Ask the dufis at turners who just quit his job at easy lube? Why are people in the know such smart ass's when someone asks a fairly important question? I realize that in CA some idiots have ruined it for most but our gun hobby will die out if we don't introduce new people to it and spread the know how!!!! I grew up in socal and am there every other week or so for biz. I've been going hunting with my dad up in Jawbone canyon since I was 12. I carry a side arm while camping. Do I have to give my life story to be deemed a responsible gun owner before the know how will trickle thru?

cdog,
Possesion of hicap mags is legal. In CA, as long as they are not marked LE only, you will never have any issues. If you legally buy a LE marked hicap in AZ, keep it out of CA. Not worth the hassle. If they are dated pre 1994 or not dated, you will not have to prove anything. |

Cdog, don't worry about it. The ability to hide behind a keyboard brings out the inner jerk in people. It is great you are learning.

My sarcasm wasn't aimed at Cdog in any way. I know he's in AZ and only gives a fuck about our laws when he comes to visit, which is cool, when in Rome right?
My issue is with certain ass-clowns who consistently show signs of intent to break the law, even after being warned in previous threads both on here, and calguns for shit's sake. Instead of absorbing the meaning of the laws and coming to their own logical conclusions, they always have to mouth off for validation. So, I say again: go for it dudes, burden of proof right?
