Acknowledging that thousands of law-abiding Delawareans currently possess large-capacity magazines lawfully, the bill would make such possession unlawful only if it occurs (1) in a public place (which would include highways, schools, parks, restaurants, bars, and similar locations), and (2) within 20 feet of a firearm capable of accepting such magazine. The bill would exempt certain shooting ranges from the definition of “public place,” so that the possession and use of large-capacity magazines at such ranges would not be prohibited.

(2) within 20 feet of a firearm capable of accepting such magazine.

People in apartments and small houses are gonna LOVE that!!!

so does this mean that anyone with the ability to CCW in Delaware will need to buy california mags for their pistols?

this is a completely neutered bill. its just enough to end up ruining the lives of innocent people who don't pay enough attention to this stuff.

WTH does that mean? You can own them, but you can't use them and have to store them in the opposite side of your house?

Let this serve as another reminder to email the folks in Annapolis and let them know that you will not tolerate this kind of nonsense.

Whoa.

Broad sweeping on the mags AND AR's, funny (not "ha-ha") how they mention "Bushmaster".

I guess when it's time to go to the range you either rent a big-ass RV, or you carry the rifle and a friend carries the mags. Just make sure he's at least 2 car lengths away from you. :lol2:

I stand corrected... I took it as OR... it's AND.

Thanks

kohburn · Jan 14, 2013

it serves no purpose against criminals but to add another charge after capture

PJDiesel · Jan 14, 2013

Guess people who live near schools are fvcked too:

5. Banning Possession of a Firearm Within 1,000 Feet of a School

in-state transportation is going to be the big question with this law.

Covered in the article; they stated that exemptions would be listed for private property owners within the zones.

(not saying this isn't with worrying about, just posting a clarification based on my reading of the article)

5 round limit to stop a group of rapists/ murderers got it.. I see our government has our best interests in mind.
