| What is the penalty for possesing LEO mags? |
|
It's a felony under federal law. I'm not sure of the class of the offense, or the sentencing guidelines -- I imagine it would depend a lot on the circumstances and any other concurrent charges. For example, a police officer in the midwest is presently awaiting trial for buying LEO mags and giving/selling them to four of his friends. If convicted, he faces 40 years in prison. If an individual were caught with a single LEO mag and the arresting officers could not find a single other offense to charge him, he could probably hire a really good (read: expensive) attorney and get off with a suspended sentence. Of course, he would also forever be a convicted felon and never again be allowed to even hold, much less own or fire, any gun. Period. |
