Why not try to answer the original question? I said nothing about running that 10 round .50 Beowulf magazine in a 5.56 rifle. If someone in Maryland owns a .50 Beowulf rifle in md, could they buy a 10 round .50 Beowulf magazine for that rifle in md. That is the question.

My guess would be if the mag has a standard 5.56/223 follower, it will be an illegal mag. If you buy the AA mag, the follower is different and my guess would be that it is legal.

IANAL and this statement is worth exactly what you paid for it. I am not offering you any advice in this matter, I'm just giving you my opinion on this matter.

I couldn't even get Recoil Gunworks to ship me a 12 round Sig P229 magazine in .40 cal. The customer service guy told me that the State of Maryland has been suing out of state gun dealers? Is this bull*** or is Maryland really suing out of state dealers? I would love to find out since that would be a terrible waste of taxpayer dollars.

I believe some one got busted at a gun show for selling something similar

Whether Md is actively pursuing out of state sellers or not
Why in the world would you expect them to send you a 12 round when it's clearly illegal to do so ????

Why would even try to order something you know is illegal to have shipped into the state? Then why would you admit it here? These are things that will get you banned.

Lawdog is LEO, aren't they exempt from mag restrictions?

lawdog89 · Jul 13, 2017

Police officers are exempt. But that doesn't change how some retailers feel about shipping here.

There shouldn't be any exemptions...either its legal for ALL or illegal for ALL. Always talk from liberals about different classes of people being carved out...well there's an example right there.

Why doesn't the department purchase it if it's a duty magazine?

The retailer probably feels law enforcement should be held to the same laws as the citizens it polices hence why a lot of companies have refused to sell to various LEO agencies.

The rationale is probably simple - the risk of lawsuit versus the small reward is just not worth the business - regardless of exception. Can't say I blame them. Everyone suffers from this silliness.

Where in the law do I find that condition codified?

It is called constructive intent. If I had a 10.5" AR barrel and no lower that could legally take it, the ATF could charge me with constructive intent to build an unregistered SBR.

Having the parts to build something that would be illegal, even if you haven't yet, is illegal.

Since all I have are post ban AR-15 lowers, if I was in possession of a 16"+ barrel that wasn't of a heavy profile, MD could potentially charge me with constructive intent as I don't have anything that could legally take it (and things that could illegally take it).

So buying a magazine for a weapon configuration you don't own, but can be used in a weapon configuration you do own and happens to then have a capacity of more than 10 rounds, MD states attorney is probably going to argue you bought a 30 round magazine, which is illegal to do in Maryland.

If you have a Beowulf, buy Beowulf mags if they are labeled as such as you can find someone who will seek or ship them to you. Otherwise take a trip across the boarder and purchase them and bring them back. Stay within the law.

Actually in this case if it turned out that they were a private citizen and not exempt from the ban and the company solid it to them, why would Maryland sue them? They can go after them for criminal penalities. If they do business in to the state, they can face criminal prosecution for violating the law.

So yeah, I understand why no company would risk criminal exposure and unless they could be positive they'd be fine.

I'm curious why you wouldn't just say this at the outset.

It reminds of why so many people "fear" the police. There's overwhelmingly more "good" officers than bad but the ones that always seem to a gotchya hook in everything they say make people apprehensive to speak to any of you.

Could I buy it today if I promise to pay you tomorrow?

Because generally anyone with a MDS handle of "lawdog" is 99% sure to be a LEO. If people can't put 1 and 1 together then they should ask instead of assuming.
