Do two 10 round Magazines make a 20?

[bushmaster1313]

New Jersey limits magazines to 15 rounds.

If 2 10 round magazines are taped or clipped together, does this make a high capacity 20 round magazine even though it needs to be ejected and put back in the other way to fire the second 10?

(BTW, if attacked by Zombies from states which allow 20 round magazines, I will compensate for my 50% disadvantage in ammo capacity by only shooting when two Zombies are both positioned in my line of sight -one directly behind the other.)

No, because more than 15 rounds aren't accessible by just pulling the trigger.

You could just buy a couple of these. I own a couple; they're very convenient as far as NOT having to reload so much...

You are probably correct about two tens not equalling 20.

The 15 round Magpul is right at the NJ limit. I would not want to risk finding out the hard way that somehow one more round could be crammed in.

Another round can't be crammed in; I already tried

Even if you did manage to get a mag that could take 16 rounds, the guys at the website I provided are excellent about returning/replacing defective products. Honestly dude, I wouldn't sweat it. I see people using them at the range by me all the time and have never heard of a problem with them.

I don't know. NJ being NJ. It might depend on how recently the cop you're dealing with graduated from the training academy. Do you want to place your future in that kind of jeapardy? Laws have a way of morphing in totalitarian states. NJ ain't alone. Remember, to most libs, the Constitution is a "Living Document".

This is not a 2nd A or liberal/conservative issue. The issue with the mags is that a zealous prosecutor could possibly find a way to call it a large capacity magazine and the officer who saw it is not going to know it is capped at 15.

Magazine restrictions aren't a second amendment issue now?

 

[whalerman]

As I see it, everything is a 2A issue; everthing is a liberal/conservative issue. My point is everything can be reinterpreted. In these days of flexible constitutional interpretation anything is possible. A local DA can pretty well do what they want.

if facing down zombies i wouldn't worry too much until then just keep the tape in the safe so it will be handy when the time comes.

Post #2 seems to adequately answer the question.
