You purchase a small lot of 95%+ 30 rd mags sight unseen, after getting them home you find a single LEO/Mil mag in the bunch.

What do you do with it if your not a LEO or Mil person.

If it happened to me, I would say that the seller, in this example, made an honest oversight.  I would contact the seller, let them know and ask how they would like to proceed.

You have a few options:

-  Send it back for a replacement non-LEO/MIL mag;

-  Ask for a replacement and turn it over to a person who can use the mag, legally;

-  Say nothing and hold onto for a rainy day;

-  Make it inoperable and turn it in.

I had a LEO/MIL mag creap into my range bag one day - gave it back from where it came.  He had one of my unstamped mags...

hypotheically,

I'd likely ignore it or find an leo to trade it with. I don't have any and would make an effort not to get any. I am just really at the point that i am tired of this BS. In my area it would not be a big deal.

This exact situation happened to me.  A member of this board sold me a lot of mags.  The one Colt promised in the sale turned out to be a restricted mag.

The member refused to answer my emails, messages, etc.

IOW, I got screwed.

I ended up giving it to an ARFCOM LEO free of charge.

Trade the mag with a reservist or active duty guy or choose option B which is keep the mag and dont use it unless absolutely necessary.  Hide it until needed

Speaking of Hypotheticals, here's a good joke.

8 year old Tommy goes to his father one day and asks "Daddy, what is the difference between hypothetical and Realisic?"  "Well," his father replies "go ask your sister if she'd sleep with her chemistry partner for a million dollars.  Then, go ask your mother if she'd sleep with the mailman for a million dollars."  Confused, Tommy goes and asks his sister and mother the question given him by his father.  "Hell yes I would!", his sister replies.  "Uh, Yeah, of course," his mother answers.  Later that day, Tommy tells his dad the answers to the questions and asks his father what it means.  "Well, son, Hypothetically speaking we're a couple of millionares, but realistiacally speaking, we're just living with a couple of whores!"
