My neighbor is CHP. He told me that if they want to buy their service Glock upon retirement, they will be able to purchase the weapon and ONE ten round magazine.

CHP using Glock?
Never seen it. Only S&W

No civilian is limited to carrying or using 10 round or less mags if he or she legally owns them. Your question shows that you don't understand that. The only restrictions are on selling, importing or manufacturing +10 round mags and, of course, using one in such a way as to manufacture an AW is also a no no. But, a civilian can legally use a 50 round mag in most handguns in CA.

CSA is right, only problem now with possession is they're trying to use that "nuisance" code to take them from people, if you're found to be using them

If a law enforcement officer buys high capacity magazines legally and quits his job to become an accountant, is he good to use those magazines for life? What if he buys it as a rebuild kit off of calguns when he was a LEO and legally assembled it as a LEO, but now he is no longer an LEO because he quit, is he good to use those rebuild kits even though he has no proof of purchase?

A LEO can keep and "use" any "standard" capacity mags he acquired while a LEO after he retires, quits or is terminated as a LEO.....

The only exception is, if said LEO acquired the mags AFTER 12-31-2000 AND he were to take those mags out of state....Technically bringing them back into California would be a felony as according to the law importing those mags would still be illegal because they were acquired AFTER 12-31-2000, and the EX LEO no longer qualifies for the LEO exemption within the law.
