High capacity mags?

[SarcoBlaster]

I can look past the samurai's views on firearms because they kill ninjas:


And to keep this thread [somewhat] on topic... WOO! HI CAPS!

[Notorious]

But some samurais were killed by ninjas too in that skirmish. I think your best bet is to go with someone with a 10mm because you lob one 10mm round into that village and it will be leveled to the ground and nothing will be able to live in a 5 mile radius from all the fallout and contamination from the 10mm blast.

Back on topic: WOOHOO, standard cap magazine kits!

question on perminanent, (for permanantly modifying a high cap to a low cap) if you assembled say a glock standard cap kit with a wooden dowel to make it 10 rounds, would that be considered perminant, because without using a tool and dissasembaling the mag you would not be able to change the capacity

sorry about my spelling

[Notorious]

That is the same question that is floating on the "The Best Pmag" thread or whatever it's called. Basically it's a wedge that you install on the baseplate and it prevents the mag from taking more than 10 rounds.

When you take the mag apart, the wedge comes off the base unless you epoxy it or fix it somehow to be permanently stuck.

The argument is that while assembled, it's a 10 rounder. While disassembled, it's a parts kit. There's no need to have the wedge permanently affixed to the base plate. Then there are the conservative ones who don't want to chance it and permanently affix the wedge.

It's a tough one but I am inclined to think the former since it is true that a disassembled mag can technically be of any capacity as a parts kit. It's when it's put together that it has to be in the CA compliant configuration.

Give 'em a 10mm Glock (with high capacity magazines, of course) and it's game over.

I heard a Glock 20 went missing while being transported by the Nuclear Emergency Response Team. All special operations units were scrambled to recover it to no avail. We last got a heat signature from the decay of nuclear material in the 10mm warhead over the high desert area of Tunisia. I pray we recover it before it gets used against us by nefarious forces.

ok here is my question this person was only 10 when the high cap mag law went into effect and he could not own a gun at that age. however could he own high cap mags at that age 10?

[Notorious]

There is no age limit for owning mags.

[Cokebottle]

And no age limit for owning a long gun.

My buddy gave his son his 10/22 when he was 8.
He gave him the 30rd magazines for it when he was 3.

[VytamenC Tactical]

so as long as you were born before the ban you could have bought high cap mags then

[Notorious]

You can own a long gun but you can't buy it from a retail dealer. My question is can you legally DROS your used 10/22 to your nephew if he is under 18?

[kemasa]

No, it can not be DROS'd to someone under 18. It can be transferred to the parent, who can then give it to the minor. A person aged 18-21 can get a handgun that way.

3. What is the process for purchasing a firearm in California?

All firearms purchases and transfers, including private party transactions and sales at gun shows, must be made through a licensed dealer under the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) process. California imposes a 10-day waiting period before a firearm can be released to a buyer or transferee. A person must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun. To buy a handgun, a person must be at least 21 years of age, and either 1) possess an HSC plus successfully complete a safety demonstration with the handgun being purchased or 2) qualify for an HSC exemption.

As part of the DROS process, the buyer must present "clear evidence of identity and age" which is defined as a valid, non-expired California Driver's License or Identification Card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. A military identification accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California is also acceptable.

If the buyer is not a U.S. Citizen, then he or she is required to demonstrate that he or she is legally within the United States by providing to the firearms dealer with documentation that contains his/her Alien Registration Number or I-94 Number.

Purchasers of handguns are also required to provide proof of California residency, such as a utility bill, residential lease, property deed, or government-issued identification (other than a drivers license or other DMV-issued identification).

(PC Section 12071)

So how do you "give" it to someone without the DROS process? File the DOJ form for family transfers?

[anthonyr31]

This is a true story. My co-worker and his buddies went to one of the local ranges a few weeks back. One of his buddies used a 30 round clip on his AR for target practice. I'm not too sure if he was shooting in spurts or not, but the range called the cops on him. The cops waited in the parking lot and arrested him on the spot. Last I heard, he was talking to his lawyer to see if he can reduce it from a felony to a misdemeanor. Moral of the story: Don't be a dumb ***, unless you want to lose your shooting rights.

[kemasa]

Yes, the intrafamilar transfer is the process for giving a firearm (to a valid family member) without submitting a DROS.

As to the AR and the 30 round magazine, was the AR not registered? Or did it have a bullet button and a high capacity magazine was installed? In other words, just based on the story it is unclear what the problem was. Personally, I think he should push the issue and try to get ALL the charged dropped as the laws are not Constitutional, as least in my opinion.
