30 round mags

[seramafarm]

Was talking to a gun shop owner and he said now we can use 30 round mags in California is that true?

If you owned them before the ban, and you have a featureless rifle (or pistol?), you can use them. Otherwise, you cannot.

Yep, the court injunction just made things the same as they were a year ago.. if you legally own pre-ban mags you can still own them.. and I assume still use them

Although I wouldn't count on LEO to be up to date on all the laws..

what about if you have the mags that are pre-ban but that gun is not... this should help out a lot of shooter and unshooter to understand.

That makes no difference.

The prohibition on transfer of 'large-capacity magazines' has been with us since 2000.

If someone possessed 10+ capacity mags in California in 1999, one could use those same mags in guns manufactured in 2000 and later.

What gets hinky is possession of LCMs that fit only guns manufactured in 2000 or later - it would have to be proven, but that would suggest an illegal acquisition.

And, of course, we're enduring the inanity that is the regulatory process, but likely the result will be that LCMs will be illegal statewide - unless a court stops them.

Or a RAW (i.e., registered after the 1989 or 2000 bans). Bullet button weapon, you're out of luck.

Lol how are those pre ban mags holding up after almost 20 years???

[omega]

if you owned preban Glock 17 standard mags from 1990 you could still use them in a current mfg Glock?

Sure, until the LCMs are finally illegal.

So wait... If I am shooting a featureless AR I can currently own/shoot 30 round mags?

lol, the ban was a couple years ago. but yeah, theyre holding up nicely.

to my understanding, yes, as long as you have them limited to only hold 10 rounds in a 30 round mag.

Great.. steel mags.. some aluminum.. do you think they go bad just sitting around?

It's not a loaf of bread or carton of milk..

Oh wait, that was some sort of snide comment.. sorry, it wasn't clever enough to be clear at first.

If they were legally owned prior to 2000.. yea..

Like I said though, your mileage may very with LEO.. I've never had a problem, but some might not be in the loop as to the injunction.. maybe carry a printout of it
