The reason I ask is because it seems the pre-ban 15 rounders w/ +2 ext. are legal..

Oh forgot, talking about Cali here. Didn't know such a place existed!
Pre ban mags are legal in california. Fixing preban mags with out of state parts is legal as well. Modifying a pre ban mag that alters its original function is not legal. Selling, lending, manufacturing, and importing pre ban mags are not legal.

BTW, even if you have pre ban mags you better have some sort of proof... Receipt, date stamp, whatever... this is California we are talking about.

10 +1 is fine. But i'm sure they are working on that...

CA DOJ has stated that the burden of proof on determining if a person owns a large capacity magazine before 01-01-2000 is on the state not on the person possessing the large capacity magazines.
 
Read your state's law and.....

DON'T BREAK THE LAW!!!!

That's why WE are law abiding gun owners.
This is a double edged sword. What happens when your gun becomes illegal?

What happens when your government becomes tyrant. do you still follow the laws?


I'm just putting that out there. CA is one of those governments IMO. They restrict personal freedoms.

It is however illegal in your state to do so.
 
pre-ban magazines are legal although they are NON TRANSFERABLE, NON IMPORTABLE (EVEN TO YOURSELF FROM YOURSELF). If it holds more than 10 you better have owned it before 94' IN cali. Honestly I really wonder how california LEO would act upon seeing something that held more than 10? and would most know the legal window of possesion or forget the concept of grandfathering law? My gut instict is most would confiscate them on sight.

Now what I would really like to know is if they are direct descendant transferable as in father to son as apparently some guns are only legally allowed to be transfered this way if I'm not mistaken. Anyone know this?

If enough people are outlaws with you, things can change. If there aren't you all the nail that gets hammered down.

Can we get some 1% GLOCKER patches made up ahead of time?:rofl:
 
Three or four years ago I was travelling around the western USA by RV and my journey happened to take me through the great state of California. Before I left my home, I bought a few 10-round magazines for my G19. While in the great state of California, I kept the G19 unloaded with the action opened, locked in a seperate case from the loaded magazines and both stored in a compartment that was not accessible from the driver's compartment.

That was to try and not break the laws of the great state of California. I did not spend much time in the great state of California although I would have loved to have been able to do so--it is a beautiful state. Unfortunately, the great state of California did not make me feel welcome so I took myself and my money elsewhere.

CA is broke too. An example of wasting resources in the wrong places (restricting freedoms). I'll bet that there are many more hi-cap mags in that state than any other in the US anyhows. What they should have made law is if one was convicted of committing a crime and has possession of a hi-cap mag (and not neccesarily involved in the crime either) that it would be a mandatory 5 year prison sentence. Would make some criminals think twice and also clear some gang-bangers off the streets for awhile.
