    mag question

    ok I have searched and can't find the info.
    How can you tell a per ban from a post ban hi cap mag. The ones I have dont have any markings on them, do the post ban ones have any type of marking?
    I hope this is the right place to put this question.

    What type of magazine are you researching?

    In CA, preban are mags over 10 rounds that you owned before CA banned them.

    In NY, they use the 1994 ban as pre vs post ban

    In CA, they are preban if you owned them prior.

    If you are looking to date magazines, the type of magazine and description is needed
    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

      And in California, dates on magazines have no legal significance.

      Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

          If you owned them in California before 2000 then you are good to go. If you didn't own them before 2000, you are committing a fellony

                So, you may not be charged with a crime, but you won't be able to keep them.
