Do you agree that purchasing said "magazines" outside of the border of MD is legal?

In Pace Requiescat magazine.....Heck I even hammered the magazine to pieces after the gun club lawyer said that it was illegal. . . .
Congratulations!!!I will have to look. I am at the hospital right now. My daughter was just born.
thanks all for the replies. This is what I need and why I did it originally because it seemed 100% legal.
But again I worry about why someone who is "in the know" says otherwise.
For example, not to flame Mr. H. I am sure he knows his stuff but his post seemed to be more of a "I am not so sure this is legal".
He is not on but that little doubt is enough to keep this door open and make me wonder.
Thank you all for the responses and encouragement. I REALLY appreciate it.
Just to summarize where I am. I do feel regarding "transfer" with regards to buying a magazine across state lines and bringing it back is ok.
What some members pointed out is that it not quite exactly that. I contacted an online gun company, I think it was clyde armory, and ordered an AR15. I told them to remove the 30 round clip twice and twice they said no problem. The price for the AR was unchanged regardless of the clip being there or not. But they forgot or whatever and it came. So it got shipped to VA and I picked it up there. What other members pointed out is that I may have "bought the magazine" in Maryland because I bought the rifle and the magazine came with it. I have to check my receipt but in that case I am afraid that I technically bought a magazine while in MD because I did it online from my place of residence. That is what I am afraid of. From my perspective I did not buy it. It just showed up in the box but I just don't know since it seems this is kind of gray.
You have already received this solid advice from Brooklyn, who is not an attorney, but let me reiterate it so you can hear it from an attorney. STOP WRITING ABOUT THE PARTICULARS ABOUT WHAT YOU DID ON A PUBLIC INTERNET FORUM where your ISP can most likely be determined.
It really does feel like you WANT to get charged with something.
My view on this is that you purchased the firearm and the mag was NOT part of the transaction since you told the seller to exclude it from the gun. The purchase contract was for the GUN, and the GUN only. The seller mistakenly shipped the mag as a freebie. Save all your communications between you and the seller if you are this worried about it, stop worrying about it, and STOP posting the details on the internet.
