Yes.

Legal to own 10+ if bought during freedom week and/or pre-2000.

^^ Correct.

And here's some good information for you, OP: https://crpa.org/news/blogs/crpa-ale...-ordered-stay/

And don't listen to all the FUD Merchants who tend to swarm around threads like this.

As quoted above, 10 round max. But if you acquired +10 round mags legally, possession and use should not be an issue while the injunction is in effect.

Except under laws other than the enjoined state law - IIRC, San Francisco and Sunnyvale still have such prohibitions.

Technically speaking, all non LE and military magazines over 10 rounds are illegal.

The Federal Appeals Court has enjoined the ability of the state to prosecute anyone for that crime.

Don't forget other laws. Maglocked ARs become assault weapons when equipped with a magazine which holds more than 10 rounds.

I had read several news paper headline that the court changed there mind and found capacity restriction illegal.
No one in the world will buy a gun that inly holds ten shots. Normally there is no limit to how many cartridges can be loaded. The gun dose not work with a hand full of cartridges

You appear to be from San Francisco, but do not own guns that hold 10 or less?

I guess you are right, California is not in this world in many ways.

Most people in California are forced to 10 round mags or less.

All my guns work fine with 10 or less.

Maybe clarify a bit?

Really? People have been buying revolvers that held 6 rounds, and 1911s that held 7 for over 100 years. People still buy single stack mag guns today even outside of Ca. Plenty of people in the world buy guns that hold ten or less, and they all work just fine.

Now to your belief on the law, the case is in the appeals process. Until that is over with the law stands as it is currently.

I keep hearing differing views from FFLs and fellow shooters, is it cool yet to own standard capacity magazines? What if there are no date stamps on the mags?

A date-stamped mag is uncommon.

And, not relevant in the general case.

This discussion is based on the Duncan lawsuit, details here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1639287
