Hi-Cap 10/22 Hot lips Magazine Legality

[Tawcoma26]

Hey y'all, I need some help. I'm in Vegas right now and need some legal help.

I'm in interest of buying a 25 round Hot Lips mag to modify for my Daisy. I want to know if I am able to bring these home to California? I know the law only pertains to centerfire but can I use them? Sorry if this has been covered, but the search button isn't being nice these days. And the guys out here dont know much of California law.

Thanks in advance.

Nope. 10 rounds is the limit, even with rimfire.

[Superfreak]

As stated above, 10 rounds is the limit (unless tube-fed, I think).
You can however, bring into the state a "magazine rebuild kit" that can be used to repair an existing 10-round magazine, but if its a high cap magazine and you put it together you will be in violation of law.

[Tawcoma26]

Well that's that. Dam.

Found mags for all my guns and the dam things are all high cap. Thank you guys for the help. I guess I'll have to make do with what I got.

You can bring them into California if you can disassemble them into parts kits. You cannot assemble them into "high capacity" magazines inside of the state though. You can use them to rebuild legally owned high capacity magazines or you can block them to 10 rounds or less before re-assembling them. The magazine capacity law doesn't just apply to centerfire firearms. It applies to both center/rimfire rifles/handguns. AW laws only apply to semi-automatic, centerfire rifles, if that's what you were thinking of.

Magazine-fed, yes. .22 cal tube-fed rifles are exempt. Example: Marlin 60.

In regards to rebuild kits...

Keep in mind that AB48 was passed out (vote was 5-2) of the CA Assembly's Public Safety Committee and was sent to the CA's Assembly's Appropriations Committee.

So, contact your CA Assemblyperson and urge them to oppose AB48.

AB48 redefines "large capacity magazine" to include:
1. possession of all the parts to make a large capacity magazine ("rebuild kit")
2. large capacity magazine modified to hold 10 rounds.

Fool! Stay in NV. Then force Reid out of office.Why isn't there a term limit on that guy?

Because it would take a Constitutional Amendment to term limit the US Senate. Look at the two clowns California is stuck with.

It wasn't until FDR was elected to 4 terms as President that the 22nd Amendment was introduced and ratified limiting the President to 2 terms.
(FDR died during the first part of his 4th term; and Truman ascended to the Presidency.)

Only issue might be that the BC hot lips are not able to be disassembled...well short of using a hammer. The Ruger BX25 and TI though can be.

This, too.

Went to Lock and Load, Guns and Ammo Garage, and of course Bass Pro Shop, just to enjoy all of the cool stuff that us Californians can't get...

Specifically guns I really want, FNP45 Tactical and a XDS45.

Great comprehensive answer.
Now what about those BC and other 25's built and acquired prior to Sept 14th 1994?
Thanks!
