Hi-cap ban

Can anybody fill me in on states that ban hi-cap mags??
Thanks, Bob

CA, NY, HI, and probably more

MD has a ban on mags over 20 rounds, BUT - you can go out of state and buy as many mags of whatever capacity you wish, and bring them back to MD. However, if you do, those mags MUST remain in your possession the entire time you're in MD. You can't sell them, trade them, or give them away while in-state. To do any of that, you have to take them out of state and sell/trade/give them away.

Crazy, huh?

Or you hand em to your buddy clandestinely and pretend you did it out of state.

Radical civil disobedience idea huh?

NJ does

Or I can just not break the law and maintain a clear conscience.

Clear conscience following the rules of lame politicians who lord their power over you.
I see no moral high ground here.

I salute gun smugglers the world over.
Let the politicians and their citizen disarmament plans burn.

NJ = no mags over 15 rounds
NYS = No mags over 10 rounds unless made prior to Sept. 13, 1994
NYC = No pistols mags over 17 rounds and the magazine must not protrude below the pistol grip
MA = No mags over 10 rounds unless made prior to Sept. 13, 1994 and unless you have a (Class A?) license.
MD = No magazines over 20 rounds
HI = No pistol mags over 10 rounds
CA = No mags over 10 rounds

Also, Chicago and D.C. have even stronger restrictions.

and Canada = no semi-auto rifle mags over 5 rounds and no pistol mags over 10 rounds.

I see no moral high ground here.

See it however you'd like - I still get my hi-caps when I want 'em!

Chicago is 12 rds on mags--but Cook, Co. (which includes Chi) is 10 rds on mags.

And as of 7:50 AM 30 May 08----Illinois has no state level mag restrictions-----that is subject to change on an hourly basis as the 'lawmakers' are in session...

Close, but the Class A license is only needed to possess PISTOL hi-caps, a Class B is ok to possess RIFLE and SHOTGUN hi-caps.

There may be no moral high ground to it, but blathering about it on the internet is a really stupid idea.

So, in Chicago is it 12 or 10? Chicago has home rule. That is why there is a handgun ban period, but there are still a few legal ones around that were grandfathered in.

Guys, if you'd like to start a new thread on the state-by-state legalities of magazine capacity, I have no problem with it.

But advocating breaking the law, even if it's one that's utterly asinine, will result in a thread lock.
