High capacity magazines at the range

[2DoorImpala]

How does one provide receipt after 12+ years? What if my dad had standard mags he got during the 80's. How would he prove it, since they are in storage for many years?


Also, would his son be able to use them?

[QUOTE=Fot;7234428][QUOTE=ls2monaro;7234039] So me and the goon squad hit the house and get his computer, bank statements, credit card bills, and receipts for high capacity magazines.

Awesome you just found proof that I purchased replacement parts for that busted up mag I found prior.

Exactly..

You don't have to prove it, the prosecutor has to prove you didn't have those mags.

His son cannot use them because he didn't own them. But there is nothing to say his son didn't own his own, because there is no age restriction to buy magazines.

3 weeks ago at my favorite Gun Range...ON TARGET..

My daughter was born in 1997. I gave her this GLOCK 33 round magazine as a gift.......she has decided to keep it forever.

Her she is running her 1992 Glock 17 (with barstow barrel by Irv Stone himself)......

Bang Bang...

Maybe they were LEO?

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

ATF is cracking down on LEO who don't comply with gun laws with their Personal firearms.

I guess I am asking what the probable cause is for the search of the house for receipts and credit card statements. Would the leo just tell the judge that they observed the person using a large capacity magazine in a handgun that did not exist prior to 2000 and that the magazines for that gun were also not available prior to the year 2000?

Your scenario seems possible for a handgun such as the XDM but would not hold up for other handguns that were available prior to 2000.

Do you have a scenario that would fit for a Handgun that was available prior to 2000 with large capacity magazines?

You have the right idea, it would never work for a gun in production prior to 2000.

I also have never personally seen anyone charged solely for the magazines, but I have seen it used in conjunction with assault weapons and gang related stuff all the time. As oceanbob said, it's fun to speculate about the nuances of the law

can't be passed on. but if it was found, then it is legal.

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.

if you look like you have nothing to worry about, they probably assumed that you were LEO too and weren't going to make an *** out of them self for questioning another LEO especially off duty.

Then you don't understand the statue of limitations. Believe me, these issues have been hashed out over and over and over...

Actually, the easy answer is to move out to free America like I did.

Out of all the parts of TX, you moved to hippyville.

The ATF doesn't care about CA magazine laws. What are you talking about? Or did you just overhear that in a random gun shop somewhere?

[Scream_4637]

From what I can tell with all of the posts thus far, using large capacity magazines in a legal manner at a range does not provide probable cause nor a practical means for leo's to investigate how the person obtained the magazine.

Bragging about having a large capacity magazine may be annoying, however, you can probable bet that the person bragging about having them may also brag about how they obtained them. If a UC leo is at the range, they would do better IMO to wait for the bragger to slip up and confess to an illegal activity, if the way they obtained the magazine was illegal.

Idiots have been nailed by CA DOJ for bringing large capacity mags back across the state line into CA before, it's even been posted about on this forum.

I was more concerned when I saw a guy shooting at the range with a 7.5" AR Pistol....with a stock on it.

That wouldn't be a pistol then. Maybe he has a RAW SBR? There are people in this state that have fun stuff like that legally.

Exactly...

Funny how most people get themselves in deep do-do...because of their own big mouth.

My motto is STFU.
