Legal Magazines

[Sig Marine]

I know California has a 10 round limit and we are prohibited from having "high" capacity magazines. Can we however, as California residents, have high capacity magazines in our possession and use when in another state that has no such restriction?

I'd appreciate any links to information regarding the answer to my inquiry.

Yes, you can have a high capacity magazine in your possession when out of state.
I know a guy who rents a storage unit in Nevada and keeps his high cap and non-CA legal rifles there.
He goes to Nevada to shoot them and locks them up before crossing the CA border.

There is no law against possessing large-capacity mags. Penal code 12020 restricts the sale and transfer of them, but its perfectly legal to possess and use them in California (assuming you aren't using them in a fixed magazine centerfire semi-auto rifle, or a fixed mag pistol).

From the phrasing of your post though, i'm going to assume you don't already have any in your possession. The best you can legally do then is have repair kits disassembled, which you can assemble out of state, but disassemble again before you return to california. Or pray some moron gives you a one in a million chance to find one when they throw out a broken one at the range.... but yeah right lol.

I'm curious - did you see the sticky thread on magazines at the top of the forum?
