Default Ninth Circuit Magazine Decision

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/...ts-california/

Can any lawyers here tell me what this decision means? The 9th 'affirmed' the lower court injunction of the Calif magazine law, which banned 30 round magazines.

So, does this mean that I may purchase some of these magazines? If not, am I allowed to keep any that I might have in my possession?

You may go to prison for just asking this question in California.

Means the temporary restraining order may stand for now. Will likely go to the full 9th cir. And be shot down.

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the injunction put in place by a lower court was upheld and nothing more. So you can keep pre importation/manufacture ban magazines while the trial continues in the lower court concerning the ban on possession. Many of the titles of articles and posts are misleading

You cannot purchase mags with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. You are allowed to keep mags with a capacity of greater than 10 rounds if you acquired them before the 2000. All the court did was uphold an injunction against Prop 63 (2016) that retroactively banned legally acquired mags holding in excess of ten rounds. Stay tuned the actual case has not been heard (Duncan vs Becerra).

Because you posted this in National politics, not CA. This is not national. Because there's already a thread on it, had you just searched... with all the answers to the question you asked.

Fixed that for you.

I have more than enough pre 2000 magazines but I did find 2 left over magazines at a shared LE-Company owned used by employees range. I could not find finding a magazine as verboten. Buy, sell, manufacture, import, offer to sell, blah, blah, blah, but no fell off the truck stipulation.

I do not recommend anyone claiming to have found the magazines they possess, just sayin, ya know!

Here is the PC section covering receiving. Which would cover "finding" also.

32310.
(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, any person in this state who 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 is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170.

That change was enacted in 2014 (for whatever that's worth)

And so..just how does the "state" intend to determine the point in time when a particular "over 10 round capacity" magazine was acquired by the owner?

The gun that the magazine was designed to fit wasn't in production until 2011?

No, our prisons are too full. Jail as well. But you might lose your job over it and if you keep it up you might end up in a reeducation camp.

actually you can have magazines for guns up till 2015, since the punishment for having a +10 magazine is a misdemeanor which carries only a statute of limitations of 3 years from when the crime occurred.

so if you illegally imported/manufactured/bought a +10 magazine in July 26 2015 you would be free and clear today, July 27 2018 since it is now past 3 years since the commission of your crime.

but some may argue that the ongoing possession of the magazine means you are breaking the law on a continuous basis, thus you can be arrested and charged until the end of time as long as you kept the magazine that was acquired illegally.

so it really boils down to, how much money you have to pay for the best lawyer, and what other charges are being bought against you.

Understood. I meant, "has anyone been arrested and used this as a defense"? I guess I should have just typed that... Was chatting with my friend & neighbor, a San Jose officer and I mentioned this. He looked at me and as good advice said, "you better keep a copy of that on you man, there's plenty of guys that would just jam you up- they aren't going to chase that down order".

There's no data reporting service that would report persons arrested statewide by charge. I've been following the topic and am not anecdotally aware of any.

The trial court issued an injunction to specific LEOs to prevent enforcement of the possession clause of the new law. When that happens, it's pretty much a universal practice for even non-named LE agencies to respect the terms of the injunction and withhold enforcement pending resolution of the trial issues.

Under your hypothetical, you could not be convicted of illegal importation (assuming you could prove the date of importation) but you would still be liable for simple possession of the prohibited magazine, for which there would be no statute of limitations issue.

The 9th will uphold it and the SC will dodge it, as usual.

Do you ever post anything with substance? All you do is depressingly ***** about things that haven't happened yet.

Sadly, I believe him to be right on the money on that prediction. All you have to do is look at history. That exact thing has happened over half a dozen times in connection with firearms cases and the 9th cir.

I would say he is posting what he (and many others, including myself) see for the reality that they are, directly based on what has happened in the past.

The fact that an injunction even exists is proof that the past is not a good predictor. I would also take exception to the casual dismissal of what the Supreme Court may do, seeing as again, that courts make up has changed. I don't expect (or want) people running around saying we will all have Class III's and concealed carry in two weeks, but this kind of mopey defeatism is getting old. Keep an open mind.
