Legal Hi Cap mags

Here are some suggestions.

Go to a "notary" and have them "notarize" that you showed up on such a date with X number of "pre bans" on such and such a date in California.

You may or may not want to split up forms for different magazines.

Notaries will charge around 10 dollars for each page. This way you have a official record that you had such magazines in Cali.

Basically the only legal hi cap mags in Cali were manufactured before 1994 since the fed AW ban was in effect from 1994 through 2004.

the mag ban will fall sooner rather than later, I wouldn't worry. I simply use ten rounders on my rare visits to CA.

If you don't have a NV permit you're better off not concealing the pistol. Lets say the pistol is in your trunk unloaded & locked in a case. As soon as you pick it up you you're guilty of unlawful concealed carry. The NRS legal statues are easy to find but very poorly written. Most of the laws were written by folks who never carried or thought that anyone would want to carry. Until you get your LTC open carry is the safest legal way to go.

This. I love living in a state where you can stuff a 30 round mag in the AR of your choice, toss it in the trunk or on the back seat, and go 'bout your business.

Watch for hunting regulations on that for rifles. I'm unsure of what they are but I can see NV F&G having rules about that.

Handguns: a loaded handgun under your seat , your glove box, between the seat and the tranny hump, etc. - i.e., just not on/in you - is OK.

There is an opinion letter from former NV AG Frankie Sue DelPapa from about a decade ago reviewing relevant NRS (Nevada Revised Statutes) and determining this is legal conduct and I recall no change of position or laws.

Please stop spreading this incorrect info.

Yes, there was a Fed mag ban from 1994 - 2004.

Yes, this Fed ban only referred to manufacturing of 10+ rd mags.
It did NOT restrict sale, possession, transfer, inheritance, etc. of 10+rd mags made before 1994.

However if one were to have some post-1994/pre-2004 10+ mags that were somehow in violation of Fed law that is no longer applicable and only CA law matters: if those mags were acquired before 2000 in CA, they're fine - regardless of questionable Fed status.

The Fed law is no longer in force, statute of limitations (whatever it was for Fed law) is no longer in force so even questionable Fed 'contraband' status does not exist (i.e, contraband = can't possess, though not charged).

If you somehow illegally acquired a post-94 over-10-rd mag in CA before 2000, the Fed issue is absolutely moot and decoupled from CA mag law issues. And CA law says that mag is legal.

Yes. Loaded mag in rifle if unchambered ok unless hunting. I don't hunt, therefore would not have a hunting license or even be in possession of any of the other equipment a hunter might have.

They would have to prove you were hunting, and in my case that would be nigh impossible.

You can't have a loaded rifle or shotgun in your vehicle while it is on or alongside a road.

Loaded equates to ammo in the firearm's chamber, but does not equate to ammo in the firearm's magazine.



NRS 503.165
1. It is unlawful to carry a loaded rifle or loaded shotgun in or on any vehicle which is standing on or along, or is being driven on or along, any public highway or any other way open to the public.
2. A rifle or shotgun is loaded, for the purposes of this section, when there is an unexpended cartridge or shell in the firing chamber, but not when the only cartridges or shells are in the magazine.
3. The provisions of this section do not apply to paraplegics, persons with one or both legs amputated or who have suffered a paralysis of one or both legs which severely impedes walking, or peace officers and members of the Armed Forces of this State or the United States while on duty or going to or returning from duty.

Do the GFSZ laws apply for open loaded carry in NV?

I know you can open carry in NV without a permit, but I'm curious as to whether the same restrictions apply as in CA to make it nonviable...

Federal GFSZ laws apply. [18 USC 922(q)]

NV state laws prohibits possession of firearms on school/college/university grounds/property.

So, don't go on to a school/college/university campus and avoid the Feds while you are within 1000' of a school.
