| As I understand it, 30rd magazines in CA are a no go unless you possessed them in CA before 2001. If this is the case, and someone wanted to take them out of state temporarily, would you be able to bring them back in legally? Or would that fall under "importation"? |

Prior to 2000 and they only need be owned by you and in the state at some point prior to 2000. Quoted:
Prior to 2000 and they only need be owned by you and in the state at some point prior to 2000. Thanks for the clarification. Quoted:
You can come and go with your magazines. If you owned the magazine inside the state at any time prior to 2000 you can bring them back in. Thanks. I'm curious if anyone here has had an encounter with any .gov official (i.e. at the agriculture checkpoint coming into CA from AZ) in which they possessed these magazines and what their experiences have been. While this may be completely legal, I don't have complete confidence that a LEO would be abreast of all the technicalities and grandfather-type clauses. |
The only issues I have heard of, are from people who went across the boarder and bought hi-caps at Cabelas or a Gun show and tried to come back. There are UC Davis snitches that will report you and the DOJ will pull you over. As for Ag inspection, just don't bring back any assualt fruit.

Yeah, these are legally owned, and very clearly old/worn. I just can't use them in this wonderful state unless I pin them... and that's never gonna happen. Oh, and I'll try to stay away from these:

Basically he has students camp out and report CA residents to other students in the store who try and record you buying hi-cap mags. They then send the info to the DOJ and CHP |

When coming back into California with legally owned Large Capacity Magazines, just do two important things:
1. Ensure the magazines are secure and out of sight. 2. If asked by LEOs if there are any weapons or anything illegal in your vehicle, Just Say NO. 
Because... It is not illegal to lie to a cop (unless they are investigating you related to a Specific Crime). Cops often don't know the actual law (despite their job being to enforce these laws). So to avoid potential problems if you run into one of these idiots with a badge, Provide only the information you are legally required to; which during a traffic stop usually involves your name, drivers license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. When cops ask to search your vehicle, always refuse! Cops aren't your friends at that time & they don't want to search your vehicle to help you. They are looking for something to charge, cite, confiscate, and/or arrest you on! |

Cops seem to love trying to threaten and/or charge someone with "interfering or hindering an investigation" for BS reasons. If one of the first things you ask a cop is "Are you investigating me as a suspect or witness to a specific or particular crime?", and they answer NO; then you have more leverage. And never lie to a federal LEO. If questioned by one, request a lawyer and say nothing else! |

Quoted:
What steps need to be taken to make a high cap mag legal? Is it as simple as dropping a block of wood inside, or do they need to be permanently modified to not accept more than 10 rounds...ie...pinned? As I understand it, they need to be modified in such a way that it is impossible to return the magazine back to standard capacity. |

Quoted:
4 years ago or so. Italian Beretta mags, 15 rounders. The forest cop gave me a bunch of BS and took them, said to call up with the receipt and I'd get them back. It started raining so I just went along. Calling did nothing. The guy proved impossible to get a hold of. I have up and moved on. Quoted:
