Question about standard capacity magazines

[PanchoVilla]

If you currently live in CA, and have a handgun with older standard cpacity magazines that pre-date the 10 rnd limit what are the rules if they leave the state? Ie, what if you left the state to attend a class/competition and took the magazines with you. Would it be considered "importation" if you brought them back?

Is there some exemption that lets you bring them back? If you dis-assmlbed them and brought them back as kits could you then repair/re-assemble your mags?

Or would you just have to leave your standard cap mags at home and take your newer 10 rnd mags for the class/competition?

The law does include an exemption for re-importation of lawfully possessed pre-2000 large-capacity magazines. You can even move out of the state for several years and move back with them or visit with them.
