Are high capacity magazines sold in Delaware?

Minuteman · Feb 7, 2015

Since you posted pics of that awesome looking hotrod, I won't pile on; you've got it- "standard capacity" over 10 rounds...

Cabelas is the place in Deleware so I've heard to pickup a few mags. Some people have friends mail order then when they go visit out of state they pick them up. All totally legal, everyone does this and most officers give this advice. Anything else starts getting a debate going about legality, so I avoid it. Also, active/retired LEO are exempt from the greater than 10 round clause. IMHO there shouldn't be any restrictions on magazine capacity, and forcing manufactures/dealers/buyers to work around such an infringement is capricious. The true purpose of such a law it just to make gun ownership for law abiding citizens more difficult, confusing, and onerous. Not everyone who has supported such misguided legislation has ill intent, many are simply naive or have been brain washed by media.

Fact check for yourself (Read John Lotts book "more guns, less crime"), and join us in Annapolis next Tuesday!

That's the plan. If I can't make it up to Cabela's today or tomorrow, a buddy is going to Harrisburg show Tuesday and said he could grab me some.

And you are going to meet him in PA, WV, DE or Va and get them from him. Right? No problem.

yeah, cabelas will do that. I think it was WalMart that people were saying would not do it out of state.

As long as it doesn't come with a magazine greater than 10 rounds that it is boxed with. They were having a "disposal" issue (and misunderstanding of MD law) with said mag. YMMV and this may have changed, but I haven't heard any different.

I think they still work it that way.
I bought a few 22 rifles there, no issues. There was a MD guy trying to buy a mini 14 and the sales monkey said, "Not this one...it comes with a 20 round magazine. We can order the same model with a 5 round mag and then you can buy the 20 rounder over on that shelf." The look on the buyer's face was priceless.

My ears bled from hearing so much stupid. :sad20:

I can see where the ignorance comes from. I don't hate the player, I hate the game - MD!

I actually thought I edited my last reply, but evidently didn't save it...

Anyway...me and a buddy went to Cabela's this morning and was 2/3rd of a wasted trip. I wanted 2 of the 18 round Mec-Gar mags and one 32 round ProMag, but they only had the one Promag, and I found that by accident... :sad20:

So, since it was only about a 45 minute drive for me, I ordered the 2 Mec-Gar mags.

Not a total lost cause since I want to go there again anyway, but would have been nice to get it while I was there.

The problem was on their website, they listed both being in stock, but the sales people said that is the main warehouse not that store...even though I was on the Delaware store page...

32 round Promag worked great.

I love this place. Our place is around 133rd street and a very easy trip every time we are down OC.
A lot of good stuff jammed into a small place. YOu can easily find something in there you want.

Thanks for the tip. I won't be in/near OC until the May Car Cruise week.

But now have a destination worth going to, while we're there. :party29:

I'll be going to the NRA mtg in Nashville in April. With a little extra cash, I'll bring a lot of high cap mags a new home. 10 rd mags? A dumb law and worthless.

Careful with that. I see no harm, but some of the forum Nazis will tell you that's illegal if he gives them to you in MD

Not happy to see the term "forum Nazi" used with this issue.

Thanks for posting. I'm still trying to find gun stores here. I have one across the street from me.

Did you stop at X-Ring ? wouldn't of been a wasted trip

ianb1116 · Feb 18, 2015

I'll second the X-Ring vote.

I'm from DE and X-ring, aside from now Cabelas, is the only decent retailer. Millers Gun Shop is ABSURDLY overpriced and their staff is horribly rude. X-Ring guys are very helpful and if they don't have what you need, they'll order it for you. I bought my first rifle from them back in 2010. I go there for all the little odds and ends Cabelas won't have (mags for pistols, small parts, powder).

We are usually there then.

71Chevelle427 · Feb 18, 2015

Did not go to X Ring. I was not driving and although we did have to make a 2nd trip to Cabelas, they had the Mec-Gar mags I ordered, and had the Ruger 25 round 10/22 mags in stock. Surely didn't save any money, but everything was average priced. They were way high on Ruger MkII mags ($27.99/each), but found some Ruger brand new mags on Ebay for $37.00 a pair w/free shipping.

Definitely NOT taking my car down in May...tired of hauling it down, and all the added expense of doing that, only for it to rain every single time... :envy:
