Another Pre Ban mag question

[Librarian]

Whats the harm in marking your mags???

Possibly some feeling that it was beneficial.

Suppose you own some large-capacity magazines you acquired in 1995, and reading this thread, you decide to mark them all "1995".

Then suppose you have some large-capacity magazines you bought yesterday in Nevada, and having gotten them safely home, you decide to mark them all "1995".

How do you distinguish the real 1995 magazines from the 2010 magazines? Why would anyone assume that the engraving were somehow proof of the actual purchase date or possession-in-CA date?

What physical attribute of a magazine could conclusively establish that the current possessor had that magazine in CA before 1 January 2000?

That's why the magazine law really has no teeth; it would be extremely difficult to demonstrate a crime without eyewitness testimony. If you don't talk, there is likely no other witness.

it doesn't add validity to your statements, it is your statement. if you say it a million times or write it on the ceiling it is still only your statement, nothing in addition to it.

He isn't going to get it. He isn't going to understand that his marking the mags is materially no different than just TELLING the cops they are "preban."

Frankly, you shouldn't be making ANY statements to some antigun foolish cop (or any cop for that matter).
