Dad passing down hi-cap mags

[WeiseGuy]

I had a question regarding legality of receiving hi-cap mags my dad has. If he wanted to give me, say, a 13 round glock mag he owns legally (pre ban), is that alright? Anyway around the legal issue?

[FCinCA]

No can do, high cap mags are not transferable.

[SWalt]

I'm pretty sure thats a No No. Can't cite the code for ya though. Check out the CGF wiki

who would ever know?

So long as he passed them down around 1999 or so, you should be good. You owned them then, RIGHT

[WeiseGuy]

Well I was born in 1991, haha. But what about when he passes? I can't have it from his will? They need be destroyed? Little strange.

I bought my standard capacity mags before I had even bought my gun, at the time I was saving up for my glock. Now I just buy them for replacement parts.

There is a 3 year statute of limitations in the mag law.
So as long as you got them 3+ years ago, you would have an easier time if you actually got charged with a crime.

Wouldn't it be fine if he finds them while cleaning up the house
No law against that

There is a 3 year statute of limitations in the mag law.
So as long as you got them 3+ years ago, you could not be prosecuted.

It's not a statute 'in the mag law'
Certain crimes have a statute

I mean I can disassemble them for parts. But it should be able to be mine if in his will no?

There are no age restrictions on owning magazines. I don't see a problem here if he did give them to you before 1-1-00.

[CSACANNONEER]

He can will you anything but, that doesn't mean you can legally take possession of it or possess it in CA.
