Don't know where to post this. I will be going to a gunshow in the Dallas area this weekend. Can I buy some hi cap mags in here and pack it in my luggage when i fly back to MD?

I don't see why not . Not illegal to purchase, or bring back to MD.

Yup, not in carry on, which seems silly. A scope is ok however...

I wouldn't call it a scope. A monocular, maybe...

I picked up a few Glock mags last time I was in TX. Surprisingly, TSA search my checked luggage. I put them ontop so they did not need to yank everything out.

Buy plenty, take them to UPS or USPS and ship them home.

Is that considered "receiving" them? Asking for a friend....

I am no longer in MD. However, a transfer would imply a change in ownership. Whether you ship it or carry it, it remains yours. And the transfer of ownership occurred in the free world.

Yep, i’ve been there too. You know you had a good vacation when TSA searches your checked bag because of the items you are bringing home.

I dont remember exactly what I brought home that trip, but i laughed about it while packing my bag at the hotel and sure enough, i found the white slip when i got home.

I have packed mags in my bags from Texas, no issue. One time was searched another time was not. Nothing taken or missing.

Trouble is actually finding them cheap. The big box stores are all up north.

I actually stopped at a Walmart here in the Dallas area yesterday just to see what they have in here compared to a Walmart in MD. Nothing exciting.

I've had it once or twice on the many flights I have taken. Nothing removed though.

I am at the show now. I was able to get two nib Beretta 92 13 round compact mags, the only 2 I found in the show. There is an FN AR that is on sale for 620. I wish I can get it in MD.

Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

How am I "receiving" something that I already own, and shipped FROM me, TO me, BY me? That's not receiving. Those are all actions of possession. Receiving occurs the moment when you complete taking ownership of an item from another party. After that moment, you possess it.


Possession is legal. And you took possession as the owner, in Texas.

It's YOURS. Do with it want you want. Including shipping it to yourself from someplace else.

I received the white slip on my last trip also. What pissed me off is that they cut off my TSA approved lock to get into the luggage. An approved lock, in my case a combo, can be opened with a TSA key.
