She allegedly had at least one LEO marked HK mag. "Gray Market" mags are unmarked, and the burden is on the government to prove it is unlawful to possess. ( Stupid AW ban! [pissed] )
I believe the only HK in .357 SIG is the USP357 Compact, which probably did not exist before 1994. |

This makes sense.....marked mag vs grey market....I'm not an H&K person (I think its decent stuff, just way overpriced, at least for me) so I really don't follow H&K stuff. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Also, I got a response from them claiming that they aren't anti-gun, and that their legal department said that was how the laws were written. What a wonderful legal department. -FOTBR |

CNN finally got it right
[url]http://www.cnn.com/2002/TRAVEL/NEWS/08/27/airport.screener.fired/index.html[/url]=cnn The affidavit also said the clip of ammunition was labeled "restricted -- law enforcement, government use only." The clip was loaded with 12 rounds, the affidavit said. Federal law bars civilians from possessing magazines manufactured since 1994 that can hold more than 10 rounds. [bold]It is legal to own magazines holding more than 10 rounds that were manufactured before 1994. [/bold]However, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms believes the weapon was most likely manufactured after that time. |

Well, I dunno how many other people wrote cnn nasty-grams, but at least they fixed it -- sort of. I'm sure they mean "magazine" instead of weapon -- otherwise I'm still fvcked because of my 2001 manufactured AR and a whole lotta normal capacity mags.

I wrote the Atlanta Journal Constitution this afternoon...they had similar incorrect information. First they cold it a .357 revolver and that they found an extra illegal magazine for the weapon. I about fell over laughing with the picture of the journalist trying to insert the magazine in the revolver. Same info about it being illegal for non law enforcement officers to possess hi-cap mags.
Edited to add: This was on the front page of the Metro section. Nice fact checking. |

With our media the whole story behind the gun will probably never be heard though... Even more if she is found not guilty we'll never hear another word about it.... Only anti material will be released by our beloved CNN. Jake |

They still didn't get it right:

Quoted: They still didn't get it right: However, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms believes the weapon was most likely manufactured after that time. I think the intent here is that since the pistol was first introduced after 1994, it is very unlikely that high capacity magazines were in existence prior to 1994. I don't know of any company that produces accessories (magazines, etc.) for a pistol it has not produced. However, a .40 S&W magazine is usually identical to a 357SIG magazine, so it is quite possible to have hi-caps for a pistol introduced after 1994. Scott Collins Newcastle, WA PS - where can I get some hi-cap clips for my Glock 23. I only have hi-cap magazines, and I think some hi-cap clips would be a nice addition...... [:)] |
