Magazine question...

[ColdDeadHands1]

Do our masters in CA allow us to sell normal capacity magazine parts kits provided they are not assembled in such a manner as to be functional magazines?

Since 01-01-2014, nope for large capacity magazine parts kits. [PC 32311]

Still CA legal for standard capacity magazines that hold 10 or less rounds.


Penal Code 32311
(a) Except as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section 32400) of this chapter and in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, commencing January 1, 2014, any person in this state who knowingly manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, buys, or receives any large capacity magazine conversion kit is punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. This section does not apply to a fully assembled large-capacity magazine, which is governed by Section 32310.
(b) For purposes of this section, a “large capacity magazine conversion kit” is a device or combination of parts of a fully functioning large-capacity magazine, including, but not limited to, the body, spring, follower, and floor plate or end plate, capable of converting an ammunition feeding device into a large-capacity magazine.

I figured as such. Thanks for the quick response!

As mentioned, you can't sell "kits".

From what I understand, you can sell "individual" parts. You can also sell those "individual" parts to the same person.

What about owning a 13 round capacity magazine that originally came with the handgun 50 years ago?
Is it legal to:
a) own one
b) use one
??
Thank you,
:-)

The critical question is not the date of manufacture but rather when did you acquire it?

Got it decades ago? Live your life
Got it last week? Don't answer that!
