Garage sale finds. Got me thinking...

[Dennis]

I have a friend who loves to go to garage sales. He told me recently that he came across a box of what the owner said were disassembled magazines. She said her (now deceased) husband kept them that way so they would be legal. He didn't buy them, but thought of me. I just got off the phone with him. He asked if it was true.

This is above my pay grade but got me thinking. That in itself can be dangerous sometimes. Is it in fact true that standard capacity magazine that are broken down into separate parts are in fact a legal way to possess. Perhaps, bring back into California? Provided they are never assembled here in CA.
This also brought up another stupid question. I was flippin through the channels the other day. Storage wars was on and there were firearms in the unit that was bought. If something like this was in CA, how would you go about getting these firearms into you name? I would assume the owner of the facility would have to PPT them to you through an FFL. What if the owner didn't want to co-operate? Are there other ways to accomplish something like this? Simple declaration through cfars perhaps?

High capacity magazine parts kits are illegal to sell in Ca.

Firearms "found" in storage locker are required to be turned in to the police.

Geeeezz...

I was at a garage sale today and bought a box of rectangular looking car parts that I think are seat-belt protector slip covers for a 1964 GAZ-21 Volga, or maybe ignition coil pack housings for a 1968 SAAB Sonett II, but can't be sure. Could also be older Makita DC power tool batterey covers.

That's what they look like to me. I think I'll buy them, take them home, and figure it out later.

They've got to be worth something.

^^^ No they are not. ^^^

In Ca.


first bolded, ... You assume correctly. Those type Storage Wars type auctions are conducted by a Auctioneer. The auctioneer is Contracted by the owner of the business. To SELL ABANDONED PROPERTY left at a rental property. A completely separate set of laws control such property. ABANDONED v LOST/FOUND property is totally different.

underlined ... That contract includes Power of Attorney for the sale of "abandoned" items inside the units. The purchaser contacts the Auctioneer and the Auctioneer acting as the LEGAL AGENT of unit owner, is the party that then goes to a FFL, and PPTs the gun to the purchaser. If the auctioneer/seller refused to do so. They committed the crime of illegally selling a firearm. Since His/Their business livelihood depends on following these laws. They don't break them.

second bolded ... Sorry no, simply doing a VOLREG in CFARS doesn't work. BECAUSE THE GUN/GUNS WERE SOLD. By the person who legally possessed it/them as ABANDONED PROPERTY.

That does work for a LANDLORD that retains an ABANDONED gun at a rental property. If he keeps it he can VOLREG it to them self. But if he sells it. He must PPT it to whomever he sells it to.

NOTE ... Landlord, whether house, apartment, or storage unit, must make "REASONABLE EFFORT" to contact previous owner by mail, of abandoned property. And wait IIRC 14 days, before the abandoned property can be disposed of.

Old GI Jerry Cans? My uncle brought me gas in these every week in Anaheim in 70s. As a student at UCI.
Still legal?

[200Apples]

^ ^ ^ The cans? Sure. It's the schnozzles that are C.A.R.B. off roster.

Water and Diesel nozzles are not regulated.
They are just a different color...

I use a green water can nozzle on my red fuel cans.
Works just fine.

You always post this drivel...

But it's just not legal.

I don't know if it's legal or not but you should post the relevant PC to support a claim that it's illegal.

There is no PC to post if it's legal because anything that's not specifically forbidden is legal.

High capacity magazine parts kits are illegal to sell in Ca.

For sale in CA is not what I am asking about. If I'm visiting family in Tennessee and buy a few 30 mags, can I disassemble them and bring them back with me to CA. Never to be assembled in CA. Parts only taken with me on trips out of state to shoot.

Would that be against the law?

[G-forceJunkie]

Because a disassembled high cap is the exact definition of a "high capacity magazine kit." Yes, against the law.

Ha, a friend of mine had a SAAB Sonnett III. What a weird pile.

I think it's illegal to import a "kit". I haven't seen anything illegal about importing mag bodies or springs. Or other parts that aren't a "kit", like floorplates or followers that might fit in a priority mail box.
