Standard magazine talk at CCW class

[Mayor McRifle]

I'm of the mindset that if you legally posses them you can use them,

You are correct.

FWIW< Deputy Joe Pinder runs the CCW program.

The instructor didn't get anything wrong with his statement that it was a misdemeanor to possess a large-capacity magazine in public. What the instructor got wrong was the belief that possession was legal within the home.

At present, both are misdemeanor crimes.

"Wobber" and "Wobblette" are not levels of crimes. Please refer to Penal Code section 16.

A crime is classified as to its most serious punishment. Additionally, where crimes can be charged as felony/misdemeanor under section 17b (a "Wobbler"), only the prosecutor or court can "Wobble" it to a misdemeanor. It starts off as a felony, and nothing less than a felony, until that time.

"Wobblette" is a rather new concept. In regard to PC 32310, the statute appears to allow the officer to "Wobblettize" the violation.

But under PC 16, the offense still remains a misdemeanor.
