The transfer of high capacity magazines. HELP

[Sunray]

Receive means to take into one's possession.
From here. http://www.lcav.org/states/maryland.asp#LargeCapacityAmmunitionMagazines
Magazine Capacity: The manufacture, sale, purchase, acquisition or transfer of detachable magazines with the capacity in excess of 20 rounds of ammunition is prohibited. Maryland does not prohibit the possession of large capacity magazines, however.

This whole thing seems so titter totter I dont know what to do.

The buyer came across the thread on AR15.com and wrote me this.

"I just read your enquiry in the Hometown Forums and frankly, I'm a little disappointed.
Can I make it any clearer that it doesn't matter one bit where I reside?

I own two AK's and over one hundred magazines for same. All of the 30's and 40's and drums have been shipped to my house in Delaware.
This is necessary to comply with MD law. As I clearly stated in my bill of sale, you can not ship them to MD.
If I physically come to Nevada, you can sell them to me there and I can bring them back to Maryland or Delaware.
You are not breaking any laws and I have specifically instructed you not to do so by emphasizing that you can't ship the goods to MD.

They are legal to possess in MD.
They are legal to transport within MD.
They are legal to place in a rifle and shoot in MD.

I am an honest and forthright person. You have asked me (below) to swear to a falsehood.
At no time have I concealed my identity or residence from you.
You have read the law verbatim and seen the replies of several other MD residents.
This is SOP for Marylanders and fully within the law.

You are selling the magazines in NV; where you receive the money is the place of purchase.
I am receiving them in DE, where there are no restrictions on magazines at all.
All of this is legal, in full compliance with all applicable laws and is routine and commonplace.

If you truly want a "cut and dried" transaction, then close the deal and ship the magazines to my Delaware address,
an action that is legal for both of us. Far more legal than Breach of Contract.

I don't want a hassle. What I'd like is some cool Bulgarian AK magazines to add to my collection.
You have the funds in a timely fashion. I have held up my end of the deal.
I have expended time and money to do business with you in a legal fashion.

What I would like is to have the order satisfied.

Sincerely,"

So what do I do here guys? I was suppost to ship the magazines today. Time is playing a factor here, I just need to know what to do.

Thanks

Do your magazines really have "Purchased in Virginia in 2007" stamped on them?

Bump to get a tally vote. "To ship, or not to ship"

Ship! I liked the buyer's letter, he laid it all out calmly and rationally, he sounds like a good guy to deal with.

I don't like the implicit threat he makes of "breach of contract". If the buyer was forthright about all these arrangements when he made the commitment to buy the mags, then fine, sell them. If he sprung all this on you with the money order he sent, than I would refuse.

I sold >10 round magazines to a CA resident who had a NV address, but he explained that up front.

As for the legality, I am not a lawyer, but it is probably legal-but I also think their is a small chance that some some could argue that this was all a subterfuge to transfer some >20 round mags to MD.

Ship, the deal as described is standard operating procedure for Maryland residents wishing to expand their collection and is in no way a violation of MD law.

dasanii, my friend. We act as though 'negative feedback' is a big freakin deal. Ha! The moderators will take care of you. We think of negative feedback as though it were a sex offender registry. Get over it. The mods will take care of you.

You are under NO obligation to comply with purchase instructions issued AFTER the deal is struck. He's wrong. Send his money back.

This cancelled sale is NOT breach of contract in our home state of Nevada.
The fact that he's threatening an honest man with breach of contract tells me that he's not Mr. Nice Guy. If he already owns hundreds of magazines, he can go buy more elsewhere. He can go to Bulgaria to get them for all you care.

Here in Nevada, we're free to do as we please. No one from MD can tell you what to do if you're not comfortable with it.
