Your Age and Your Pre-Ban Magazines

[Merc1138]

Not to bust your chops kid. But i went ahead and Re-read your post and your original post doesnt stay anything about buying BROKEN mags.

Just says U bought "a bunch of mags" when U were 5, etc.

Well, if anyone ask your dad was/is a Millionaire and bought U $35+ Fully functional mags for you to toss around when U were 5 yrs old.

Enjoy what U got and use common sense.

Is there some reason he needed to specify they were broken? Are you also going to complain because he didn't specify the color, how many scratches, whether they were 20's or 30's?

No, but he claimed he did. Which he didnt and i pointed that fact out.

And i wasnt complaining, just making an observation.

The ones i got were mostly broken, there were a few working ones for a m14 and they were all beaten to hell, they were dirt cheap at a old surplus store and i got em for the lil kid cool factor its not like they were new in box they were basically trash

Look again akjunkie

[akjunkie]

Ah, i finally see it. I thought U were referring to your original post ( #1).

Anyways, good luck with your Rebuilds.

there is no way you owned a bunch of high caps when you were 10 - it makes for a cute post but I'll just say liar

theres no way someone had hi caps under the age? alright.

a couple people I knew that had guns given to them by there folks or loaned but werent old enough to register them actually bought the magazines as they weren't restricted just before the ban and kept the receipt.

wait your friends had them before they were of age? you just said there was "no way"......

There is no reason for you to have since you can't own a rifle at that age and barring proof of purchase your story is again BS and your just filling up another worthless thread on a mature gun oriented site.

Proof isn't needed. The burden of proof lies with the State.

Its tougher if you're stupid.

[socal425]

...but besides those two cases, nothing else can prove or disprove you had the magazines before or after the ban. hence why this hi-cap law is really ridiculous.

Please stop spreading this BS. Please!!! If you don't know the law just keep quiet.

I have a similar question about hi cap mags if you guys don't mind answering?

My dad is about to transfer his Beretta to me. He bought this back in 1987 along with a few 10+rd mags. So in order for me to use this Beretta, I'll have to buy 10rd mags if I were to use it myself right?

This isn't rocket science guys, come on.

He can no longer transfer large capacity magazines to you. If you already own 10+ round mags for that gun then you are free to use them in it. If you don't own any 10+ round mags for that gun then you will need to buy 10 rounders.

SOOOOOO much bad information and bickering going on here... Can you say you owned them at 10? Of course you can. Not Illegal. There are several legal methods of acquiring hi-cap mags. Some have been mentioned here.

Bought them more than 3 years ago? Statute of Limitations has expired.

Owned them before the ban? Great!

Given to you by another person while inside the state(read: you didn't import them)? All good, its only illegal to give or sell, not to buy or receive. Your aunt/uncle/nephew/stranger could have given them to you and there is no burden on you to prove where they came from. YOU didn.t break a law. I have noticed many tend to come from a recently deceased relative...

Let them guess, there is absolutely no reason to explain yourself to anyone, including law enforcement. If LEO can find a mythical "hi-cap mag possession law", let him charge you. Thankfully, no such law exists. When laws are written in such a roundabout matter, it can be assumed the intention of the law was not to eliminate them, else they would have made possession illegal!

[hefedehefe]

So possession is legal and it is ok to buy high cap XD mags?

[vintagearms]

What's up everyone, I was at Battlefield Adventures today in Ventura and and I asked them if they had rebuild kits, they said they didn't because of the chance that people wouldn't rebuild and just circumvent the law, ok whatever. .... oh he said hes a CG member too.

Let me say this ...yes, they would be legal to purchase and rebuild as kits. AND, Battlefield adventures are full of idiots who havent gotten a ****ing clue. They are not a friend of the 2nd Ammendment nor a friend of CA gun owners. They will only sell handguns to sworn LEO.

Possession is legal, but you're going to have a heck of a time explaining how you have hi-caps for gun which is post-ban. Nobody's going to sell you a high-cap mag in California, so you pretty much either had to break the law by importing it, or break it by assembling the magazines in state. Either way, you shouldn't have been able to get your hands on them, leave it alone.

Wait, what? If you mean it's legal to purchase kits and rebuild magazines you already had, THAT is legal. If you mean it's legal to purchase the rebuild kits and create "new" magazines, that's not.
