Magazine size vs 10 round carry rule

[Slhaney]

Commit a crime while carrying a greater than 10round magazine, it becomes an add on charge.

Not sure if thats possible. They cant really charge you for legal behaviour. Since carrying a larger magazine is not against the law, what exactly would they charge you with?

They can charge you, it is a violation of MD law and it has already been discussed in this thread. Read the quoted MD law in post 10.

Possession is not illegal, possession while committing a crime is.

I believe you. I guess stranger things have happened. It is Maryland after all. But since I have no intention of committing a crime, it shouldnt be an issue.

This is posted in Comments & Sugguestions , so your Geography is unclear .

In Maryland , you may carry magazine loaded to capacity .

In Washington DC , possession of a magazine capable of holding more than 10rds is illegal in itself , regardless of how many , if any , actually loaded .

Recent change in DC , you may now carry as many magazine ( or speedloaders , or loose rounds , etc ) as you choose .

It seems people sometimes mix up other state and DC laws with NY, which had the bizarre rule that you could only carry 7 rounds regardless of capacity. I think that was actually dropped.

AFAIK all other mag restrictions have dealt with capacity not actual content.

I carry a pinning kit with me so I can pin my carry mags before the cops get there...

Be wary of carrying 30-40 round mags. I’ve had women follow me home.

But once you get to a 50 round drum...it looks deformed.

From having the mag jammed up against it?

I searched for a while on here and couldn't come up with the answer. If a gun I buy on an auction includes a magazine that has a capacity larger than 10, can they ship it to MD? If not, do I just tell them to keep the magazine?

 

[Mark75H]

FFL's that can receive firearms in MD can recieve standard capacity mags and sell them to LEO or convert them for you or destroy them. Some do, some do not. Consult your FFL

Unlike their domesticated relatives, wild turkeys do regularly need to leave the ground, either to avoid threats or to access an overnight roosting spot…
