Hi all. I have an issue hopefully someone call help me with (besides the loose screws). lol
I have a particular handgun that I want to purchase but have been unable to find locally. The problem is that the only inventories that are available have 13rd Magazines, therefore the dealers cant sell to me online or in State. i have contacted a few dealers who are willing to ship the gun without mags but are not willing to just include 10rd instead of the 13. I was even willing to accept one 10rd in exchange for the 2 13rd mags that come with the package. Now as far as I understand, it IS legal to buy and own mags with greater than 10rd capacity, just that I CAN't buy them locally or buy online and have SHIPPED to Maryland. So would it be illegal to DRIVE to the dealer in VA or PA, purchase the gun, have it shipped WITHOUT mags to a local FFL and HAND CARRY the mags back home? BTW the same HANDGUN model with the 10rd mag IS legal in Maryland. just seems that no one has any instock right now nor can tell me when they might become available.
