    If you have 30 rd mags are you still allowed to use them here in Maryland? Like for instance if i wanted to take them to the range is it ok?

    Yes, possession is not illegal. Just don't try to transfer(Sell, trade, give away) them to someone else or try to buy some.

    The 20 round limit only applies to selling, buying, 'receiving', and 'transferring'. As long as you keep your 21, 30, 50, 100, 173, 599, ∞ round magazines and drums in your personal possession, its ok.

    Oh geez, can we stop being pantywaists for God sakes?!

    Since it was too much to ask for a few inconsiderates here, I will further corroborate the answers to the man's question.

    Yes, assuming the ban passes you can keep your hi-cap mags. You just can't but them here, sell them here, or give them to anyone else. It don't matter if it holds 11, 21, 50, 100, whatever. Go to the range, load 'em up, and enjoy yourself.

    As for the ones who couldn't be bothered to answer the man's question, grow a spine, and quit being so damn paranoid. As long as laws are complied with as written, what is the problem. And if we can't talk about bullet holding devices on a gun site, well what the hell can we talk about?

    Gently. They are suffering from Battered Gun Owner Syndrome. Being repeatedly abused by the ignorant, the people in government, and the media takes it's toll after a while.

    Yeah, I guess I can understand that. I just don't like to see people ganged up on the way I was when I first showed up.

    possession is not illegal... transfer,selling or plainly giving it away or receiving it as a gift is illegal. manufacturing it, buying it, transfering it and receiving it out of state and bringing it in the the of Maryland is not illegal...
