High capacity magazines at the range

[ls2monaro]

Maybe not the smartest idea to bring your 10+ round magazines for a firearm first produced after the year 2000 to a public shooting range in CA.

Just something I have noticed happening more frequently in my recent range trips.

how do you know theyre 10+, did you watch them shoot 10 and continue without reload? was it featureless?

I am referring to handguns for the most part, and hearing (mostly young guys late teens/early 20's) flaunting/bragging to their buddies about their high capacity magazines.

i have seen a lot of young shooters bring hi cap mags for xd, m&p, ruger sr9, etc to the range lately. I guess most of them buy it online as rebuild kits and put them back illegally...

However it is not illegal to OWN or POSSESS any capacity magazine in California.

But I see your point...

At the range i go to, one of the RSO's told me that they dont believe or enforce mag capacity limits, and than proceeded to pull out his AR with 30 rnd mags and start shooting. i just think that its not really something that is enforced at ranges

Until someone or several people get busted for them, the law will be ignored for the most part.

you cannot force laws to be followed
you can only educate those who may be in violation
what they choose to do is their choice and they have to live with the consequences

Of course possession of high capacity magazines is perfectly legal for now. With these lawmakers we have in CA that tend to have a knee jerk reaction especially when it comes to gun laws.

UOC is perfectly legal but now these lawmakers are making a pretty strong push to get rid of it as well.

Possession and use of high caps is perfectly legal. The way they were acquired could be illegal, though.

Maybe they were LEO?

I agree with your point, I'm just playing the devils advocate here.

When was the last time you heard someone was fined for having a mag over 10 rounds? I never have.

Personally I tend to leave mine at home to just avoid the chance of a hassle. And their all pre-bans. There are just too many people, and too many uninformed leos. Not worth the the risk to me....

I'm glad you've got everything completely figured out. Should probably read around a bit more.

I bring all my preban mags to the range that is crawling with LEO's. Never once have I had a problem. They don't even look twice.
