Selling "high cap mags"

[canative]

Don't know if this is the right place for this, I want to sell my 15 rd. Glock mags I purchased back in the 90's. Is it legal to sell to LEO? They the only one's who can legally buy them?

[tileguy]

if you still have the pistol buy a block for them and keep using the mag. they usually work better than an aftermarket ten rounder.
sorry, about your question i dont know.

Block them to 10, sell to a Peace Officer, or sell out of state.

[M1NM]

I'm going to block mine cheaper than buying unreliable new ones. The mere act of offering them for sale violates CA law.

You are in possession of an item that is illegal to own. And you want to sell to a LEO ?

[canative]

That's why I was asking. I thought I read somewhere that you can legally sell them to LEO only. When I originally bought them they weren't illegal.

[Wildhawk66]

I believe Penal code 32405 does permit the sale of a large-capacity magazine to a sworn peace officer.

I think you are right to be cautious with this though and it might be worth your time to confirm things with someone who has actual legal training.

I don't think he's ignorant, just didn't read "owned since 1990's".

Currently...

It is illegal to advertise them for sale, keep them for sale, and sell them while in CA. [PC 32310(a)]

It is legal to sell them to a LEO [PC 32405].
^ But, still illegal to advertise them for sale to LEOs and to keep them for sale to LEOs.

Damn this state sucks!

You can always surrender the mags for free.

[Wallabing]

Try to convert it to a 10 rounder, and try sell it to a LEO and see what happens next.

One big hint, they're not your friend.

[AAShooter]

Take them out of state and then sell them.

[I Swan]

Seems like a lot of trouble to sell a mag LE can legally buy new for probably $30 or less.
