15rd mags

[SoCal326]

Huh, on the calguns wiki (from the way back machine because I couldn't get to the real one) it says I'm good to go using standard cap mags in a featureless. I'm not sure how I overlooked this but yay!

It's legal to use them In a featureless rifle? I thought you could own the mags but couldn't ever use them. I guess I should check the Calguns wiki.

This is why I own a featureless rifle....no bullet buttons!!!!

Yep. Featureless. Doesn't mean you won't get questioned by people or law enforcement who don't know the law though. And Leo can confiscate them as a nuisance.

[Chunky_lover]

keep them but dont use them
buy 10rd mags

easier this way

It would be advisable to be able to show proof that you did not bring them into the state in an illegal manner.

Not necessary. The burden of proof is on the other side.

How exactly do you show proof of something that didn't happen?

Plenty of post-ban, standard capacity magazines in circulation.

No duh but buying a parts kit and claiming you had the whole thing prior can land you in trouble too.And yes ones marked for LEO use only would not technically be legal since the crime bill sunsetted in 04 so no legal way to have those prior to 2000,And yes i do know you can replace parts to rebuild but to a police officer you may have a tough time convincing the laws since they dont have to be 100 percent right to arrest you just have suspicion of a crime.

No one is under any obligation to explain how they came to possess any standard capacity magazines. Thinking that you owe LE a response to that ridiculous question is your first mistake, but to each his own.

Hell, for all they know, you found them abandoned on BLM, a pistol match, at the range, etc.

Proving that you manufactured (assembled) it, or imported it into the state is nearly impossible, period.

Wrong ! Burden of proof is in the prosecutor not yours.

Burden of proof that you committed a crime in obtaining large capacity magazines, is on the State.

Burden of proof that the large capacity magazines are not a nuisance item because they were legally obtain, is on you.


Summary:
For criminal charges, they have prove it.
For confiscation as a nuisance item and no criminal charges, you have to prove it isn't.

CANNOT YOU FOLKS READ GOOD? ( Zoolander quote - look it up ).

Question was in a pistol forum.
Question was about Glock normal mag capacities wrt CA law.

Owned magazines if normal capacity, cannot be sold or transferred. Can be sold if modified to 10 round capacity.

How are you going to prove a negative? Also, statute of limitations = 2 yrs


OP - use em and be proud! I have like 2 10rders total among all my guns.

Possessing and using 15 round mags in a handgun is NOT illegal unless in LA and a few other cities. It is illegal to import, manufacture, buy and sell hi caps. No hi cap in a bullet buttoned semi automatic rifle.

The California Penal Code does not mention anything about buying. This is what it says:

"manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, or lends, any large-capacity magazine"

So, buying is okay? Although, no one can "Sell" it.

I think they amended it last year or two years ago to include buying also.
