Question about High Caps mag punishment

[practical]

This kid is either a TROLL or a criminal.

It's nearly impossible to get a pistol carry permit in NYC.

Furthermore, ANYONE getting a handgun POSSESSION permit in NYC, NY would already have had to do a LOT of research, PROVE they know how to legally store the gun and had to wait at least 6 months to even make a purchase.

Kid, you are A TROLL or a felon.

If you a OLD enough to have a gun you are old enough to go to your local authorities and local gun shop to find the answers. I call TROLL and ask this person to be BANNED NOW.

NYC and NY in general requires at least 6 months to get a gun permit and requires knowledge in the process of getting a gun which you would LEARN the answer to such a question.

I don't know if he is a troll or not but he did say that he didn't carry because he didn't have a license.

Dont take them apart. Go to our For Sale section and post them to trade. There are a ton of people that have 10 rounders that would gladly trade for your standard capacity mags.

Practical: The man said he doesnt carry. I suggest you reread the ENTIRE thread.

 

[Kind of Blued]

I agree. Ten rounds seems to be plenty. For all intensive purposes, use YOUR LEGS as the first possible solution to the problem before the next ten rounds.

I'm sorry to hear that you have been shot as an innocent. You COULD always entertain the idea of moving, although you must be a fellow jazz musician if you're still there.

I can't use the "I bought it before Jan. 1, 2002 excuse",

Actually, a lot of people purchased magazines for firearms they didn't own yet, in anticipation of a bill banning said magazines.

Of course, if your magazines carry an "after the ban" date, or are unique to a firearm that didn't exist prior to the ban, this assertion won't hold water.

He is not a troll, he is a NYC resident with a valid question.

As a NYC resident myself, I can confirm that the weapon posession laws in this city are downright confusing and not even understood by most NYC LEOs.

I believe in the NYC Administrative Code there is mention of 17 round magazines being ok for handguns, but I think there might have been a change since then Re: 2002.

For disposing of the magazines, you can give them to a friend out of state, or dispose of them to a LEO (PM me if you want any help)

If your sure its illegal, don't do it and don't suggest it. simple as that

sorry to sound harsh- but thats just a silly thing to bring up.

NYC laws are very tricky- i go to school there. I can sympathize with your plight, but truth be known, thats one place that even if the 'technically' correct side of the law, NYC is one of the few places you still could get burned really bad

 

[Bridger]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that over 10 rounds is a felony beyond that obscure AC reference, which as I mentioned above probably no longer exists.

The original poster has stated he has previously been shot twice in the same attack. If he feels the need for a higher capacity gun due to his own experience, then who am I to question that? His personal experience definitely carries more weight than my opinion.

The original poster states he lives in a bad neighborhood with his family. He is their protector since his father died. I'm sure that he would move his entire family if he had the financial where with all to do so.

The original poster also states he is a citizen who intends to obey the laws of his municipality. Calling him a criminal, a thug and/or a troll is not really what The High Road is about.

I'm not certain of the legality of trades of full capacity magazines from within NYC for 10 round magazines from outside NYC. Nor am I certain of the legailty of selling them to an area outside NYC to get rid of them. This is definitely an area where the original poster needs accurate advice, not speculation and internet lawyering. I can say we don't condone illegal activity or the advocation of illegal activity on THR.

I can also say destroying or legally surrendering (if possible) the full capacity magazines and purchasing NYC compliant magazines is way cheaper than doing time.

Scorpiusdeus, can you provide a link? Not that I doubt you, I would just like to see the origin of your info.

Here are a few links that might or might not help.

As you requested

I suspect it is the CA portion of my post you are looking for a link to.

CA P.C. Section 12020(a)2 is the part I was addressing.
