This may be where Xavier gets too cute by half and goes ahead and certifies that people found to be in possession of magazines with a capacity of 10+ rounds will not be prosecuted for possession, but will nonetheless have the magazines seized as a nuisance.

There'll be a law suit on that. The DOJ may deem it's not worth another law suit.

I am heading to Phoenix tomorrow and just read this.

I may have to see if a LGS will sell to me while I am there.

Thanks!

NO GROUP BUY!

If Turner's starts offering standard cap mags, then I will believe.

same here. If I see them I'm buying them.

All the NRA haters can eat a d*ck on this one.

[easy]

OK, so, what does this do for firearms like the SKS D and the SKS M? Being as they are 'banned' due to detachable 'large cap' mags?

Sean,

Congratulations. It looks like your firm did an outstanding job here. I know that there are going to be a lot of questions flowing from the decision.

But one question that really troubles me is that your firm focused exclusively on Penal Code section 32310 which provided criminal penalties for acts relating to large capacity magazines.

Judge Benitez wrote very specifically to the constitutional rights of those possessing such magazines, and to the level of scrutiny the courts must apply in considering constitutional claims.

I didn't see your firm make any issue with Penal Code section 32390 permitting the non-criminal seizure of such magazines, nor did I see PC 32390 addressed by Judge Benitez.

Are Californian's still at risk of having their lawfully possessed large capacity magazines subject to civil seizure?

No, and they never have been.

This law never went in to affect thanks to the preliminary injunction obtained by the CRPA and NRA.

And for the record I've never stopped using my standard capacity mags at the range.

So let’s say there’s a successful appeal and the limit is back to 10 rounds, what are the chances all the magazines we buy are grandfathered in? Would like to know before I spend hundreds of dollars once places online are taking orders from us.

Does this decision affect the entire state, or only the district wherein this judge is seated?

[John Browning]

All of the state.

This is awesome news!

I can just see repair kits being assembled furiously and drill bits speeding through mag rivets all across CA right now. Kids are missing dinner because dads are in the garage working on mags.

As this decision came out on a Friday, can I assume that Becerra and his goons won't try to infringe upon our newly restored rights until Monday? This is going to a busy weekend for some people.

Judge Benitez did a very good job on this decision, but he's probably not a viable candidate for the Supreme Court.

He's currently on "Senior" status. The President seems to be looking for Supreme Court candidates that are very young and very healthy.

Someone would inevitably question his legal education. He graduated from Western State College of Law before it became a legit (ABA Approved) law school in 2005.

He's still a Federal judge, no? There are lots of openings on the 9th Circuit bench.

[sigstroker]

I would guess zero chance. But at least you wouldn't get prosecuted for buying, just possessing, assuming you're dumb enough to keep them after the decision is appealed and final.

Props to all you guys that want AR mags and i'm happy as heck for ya ! But I want some CZ mags lol

[sigstroker]
