Ridiculous ways around magazine transfer...

[dfens42]

I think I just discovered the win. My nephew had a birthday party at zky-zone in columbia over the weekend. It's essentially a giant room full of a variety of jumpolines(it's what they were originally called before Hillary Clinton got on one). This establishment plus perfecting the art of the mag flip should result in repeatable dynamic high speed transference of ordinance feeding mechanisms through fluid synergistic coordination in an asymmetrical legal minefield.

WINNER!

What are these magazines you speak of??? All my weapons are single shot airsoft nerf toys.

If you hand you're friend the spring inside and the casing separately it is no longer transferring a magazine nor if he puts it together is he receiving a magazine but parts used to make one if I'm correct...I don't think there is any law against assembling a magazine.

You would need to drive to PA to assemble.

You're forgetting about that pesky height rule MSP "added" on their own to the jumping transfer regulations. 100 ft is the all around accepted height, even the AG put it in a memo... Let me see if I can find it somewhere...

What if you jump while you're in a tall building? ie: Legg Mason Building, Baltimore World Trade Center, etc.
You would be higher than 100ft, right?

Some people seem to be taking this thread too seriously...

Around here, you never know.

There is. It says "manufacture" of a magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds is illegal. I believe it's one of the reasons Beretta is leaving the state. They manufacture the M9 and whatever other variants along with their magazines for the US Army. But now MOM and his cronies have gimped their production capabilities.

But you aren't really manufacturing, you are assembling parts that have already been manufactured. But after reading the Supreme Court's definition of manufacture, I suppose you cannot assemble a magazine either.

The Supreme Court has defined "manufacture" (in its verb form) as "the production of articles for use from raw or prepared materials by giving to these materials new forms, qualities, properties, or combinations, whether by hand-labor or by machinery." Diamond v. Chakrabarty, 447 U.S. 303, 308 (1980) (quoting American Fruit Growers, Inc. v. Brogdex Co., 283 U.S. 1, 11 (1931). The term is used in the statute in its noun form, Bayer AG v. Housey Pharms., Inc., 340 F.3d 1367, 1373 (Fed. Cir. 2003), and therefore refers to "articles" resulting from the process of manufacture. The same dictionary the Supreme Court relied on for its definition of "manufacture" in turn defines "article" as "a particular substance or commodity: as, an article of merchandise; an article of clothing; salt is a necessary article." 1 Century Dictionary 326 (William Dwight Whitney ed., 1895). These definitions address "articles" of "manufacture" as being tangible articles or commodities

Attach small parachutes to the mags and drop them while flying over your friend's house in your Cessna.

There were several exemptions for Firearm manufacturers in SB281, so Beretta can still manufacture standard and high capacity magazines (FYI 30 round magazine is not a high capacity magazine it is standard capacity), however they cannot sell them in Maryland.

It is most certainly not illegal to assemble parts into a magazine. If it were, you'd be "manufacturing" a new mag every time you take it apart to clean it.

That's what I'm saying there is a difference between assembling and manufacturing. However, I'm not a lawyer. I just go out of state and buy my magazines though fortunately I'll be moving to Virginia in a year and won't have to worry about this problem.

One of Maryland's saving graces is its peculiar geography, which makes it easy to meet in a neighboring state.

Here's a challenge:

Just for fun, using Google Maps, see if you can find any spot in the entire state that is more than a 59 minute drive to the closest point in a neighboring state.

I tried a few spots in Howard County and near Annapolis, and Google Maps puts them only about 45 minutes from the state line, either Pennsylvania, Virginia, or Delaware.
