Magazines over the 10 round limit

[FXWG]

So what would a person do if he were to have current magazines over the limit? Do we have to throw them away? Not saying I do but just wondering.

Nope they are grandfathered, as long as you don't try to sell or buy hi capacity mags

The law is written exactly as it is now, the only change was from 20 to 10.

Posession is fine. It's just sale, transfer, or manufacture that's prohibited.

Thank you guys. This is just about the saddest thing that has ever happened to me. Not even the death of my beloved father because I know he is in a better place with GOD and not in pain anymore. Now I feel so used and screwed. They did not listen to one thing anybody had to say. They had their minds made up and did what they were told to do by omalley. This bill will do nothing to save the law abiding citizen but you all already know that.

Thank God they didn't completely ban them. That was my main worry.

Are belt feds still not "regulated"?

How about we don't discuss rifles which might not be covered by the ban until after April 8

I agree with this - but doesnt that only buy us a year?

so if I build a .458 SOCOM AR and I bought a 10 round mag for it I guess it would be at my own risk since the .458 uses a 30 rd 5.56 mag to hold 10 rounds.

So my 16 rd mags are safe? How would they know I bought them a year or two ago?
Do I need to provide proof like a receipt?
thanks

Your ability to acquire normal capacity magazines hasn't really changed. MD can't govern what happens outside of its jurisdiction and possession is not prohibited.

The "Grandfathering" part of this just gives them more to use against us in the future. You think about 2 years from now you are at the range and have the 17 round Mag, 3 in fact, that you got when you bought your gun 5 years ago. An Officer notices you fire more than 10 rounds before changing mags....... His position will be, "How do I know you did not just buy those yesterday in Va????" I see harassment city coming our way, and believe me there are enough A-Holes in uniform that will ues that to F___ with you.

You must hand them over to me before October 1st.

And it won't matter if you did buy them yesterday in VA because the law doesn't ban possession. Only sale/transfer within the MD borders after 10/1 is prohibited.

This.

Buy a 100 round Beta drum in Pa on 10/2/2013 and bring it back to the gulag.

So what's the law about filling the mag to full capacity and letting go? Is it the same law as Connecticut where u can't put more than ten rounds in the magazine outside your home? Looks like I'm going to do shooting drills to see how fast I can reload mags with ten rounds in it with my m-4 and ak

No. The ONLY thing they changed in the law about magazine size was the number 20 to the number 10.

 

[jrumann59]

so once mags get in stock repair kits for everyone.

 

[Goodfellas1833]

Ok so the it's pretty much the same law just refined to ten round mags... But we can still buy high capacity mags outside the state and posses them in the state?

This is not a new possibility. It has been discussed extensively on this site. It was discussed extensively before this last legislative session.

A simple search would turn it up being mentioned in hundreds of threads unless someone has been diligently scrubbing all the old posts of this information.

I'm only discussing it because it's so well known. I agree with the sentiment, but the cat is out of the bag and across the state line on this particular fact.
