The puzzling thing about the magazine ban is .... there's no mention of calibre. Sure, I can jam 30 rounds of 223 in a standard AR magazine. But into that same magazine I can only jam 10 458 SOCOM rounds. Any legal opinions?

I'd be willing to store a milk crate's volume or so if anyone needs a place to store them, and send them back once the law is struck down.

Maybe we can establish sort of a forum underground railroad. :)

You know they'll interpret it based on whatever it will hold the most of. How many .22 rounds can you cram in there, even if it won't function? :roll:
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

By that logic all 10 round 40 S&W mags are "high cap" based on how many 9mm rounds one could cram in them.

I live in free territory, having escaped California long ago (after I purchased my first firearm...and now have managed to replace the pitiful 10-round mags that it came with, with proper mags). I have storage space available for sealed boxes that would be returned on request, should anyone be needful of such.

Oh, I'm not proposing it. I'm attempting to replicate GFW logic.

Yeah, if anybody needs to move stuff out until the Moonbeam gov't comes to it's senses, let me know. Hell, I'll even pay the shipping to send it back to you, once it's safe to do so!

Does any of it apply to cops like when NY passed the garbage but forgot the exemptions?

I can meet at Yuma or Blythe for anybody who needs storage space.

I would think most folks in this commie state don't want to make any mention of how much ammo they have nor what types and sizes of such. If I had AR mags, I'd fill them with the largest caliber that fit - even if it wouldn't function simply because they can't FORCE you to prove those magazines would work in a .50 Beowulf, and that you KNOWINGLY keep them to violate the state law for the magazine's proper caliber.

THEY CAN KISS MY ASS!!!
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
