    I wondered why the magazines sold out almost instantly and left almost all of us in the lurch. Just like the guys buying toilet paper at Costco at the start of the pandemic. Cheers.

      I think Quiet covered the issue of law. Since freedom week, while I was still in CA, I used my (legally acquired) 11+ rond magazines with impunity in my handguns and featureless rifles. Prior to freedom week they were nearly ubiquitous due to all the pre-2000 mags around, after, they were super ubiquitous. Nearly everyone I know that shoots either ordered a ton or went to Scheels in Sparks and spent hundreds of $$$$ on mags.

        Had a 13 rnd factory mag "confiscated" by a local gun shop during my PPT recently - my fault for leaving it in gun...
        Stated reason was "everything in the shop is on audio/video now , & it feeds into a DOJ site"... Wonder if all CA. shops are having to do this.?
        They offered to block the mag to 10 rnds and return it tho' , for $30 plus parts...
        Live & learn...

          Saw this in your other post.

          Something is wrong here. Local gun shops lack any form of "Confiscation" authority.

          What was the gun shop that supposedly did this?

            The word is stolen. You should explain you want your property back or you will sue them. Ask the if they are a LEO, if they say yes, their taking might be lawful, but file a claim of theft against them, unless they turned in the mag for destruction. IA or DA should be able to tell if they stole it. If stolen, ask for your property to be returned to you. If not, ask for a copy of the police report and the paper work for the surrender of the mag to them.

            If they aren't an LEO, theft. Since no amount of money can replace it, I'd claim $2000 damages to make it a felony. Ask them if they want the matter to be prosecuted as felony theft. Also, talk to their boss, owner. Get their help in resolving the situation. If they don't, ask them if they want to be involved in the lawsuit as well. I'd file a small claims suit for $2000.

            Video tape everything. Appear in person. Bring Friend in suit, have him write notes on a legal pad and have him not say anything, don't introduce him. Let them think he is a lawyer. At a minimum you have a witness.

              Hmmm...

              Another Brand New Member with a low post count, and a Story to tell that would rile up others.

              I'm sure there is NOTHING fishy or suspicious about any of this.

                To Gofflord: Why would you bother with any of this. Let it go. You messed up by leaving a so-called hi-cap with the firearm. Perhaps the FFL thought it might be a trap!

                I would take this incident as a "lesson learned" and move on.

                  Sure the camera feeds into a DOJ site. The DOJ has a data center filled with employees watching video feeds from gun stores and quick reaction teams in place to respond to gun crimes in progress. They also monitor street light cameras to watch for gun crimes in your neighborhood. The DOJ also maintains a call center so they can promptly respond to gun owner questions.

                    I would have asked them for a hammer then destroyed the mag. You know one of the store employees took that mag home.
