SB281 Question about 20+ Magazines

[Savior4116]

I'm sorry if it's been discussed already.
What about our 20+ rd magazines, that we bought out of state and are legally owning.
Are they "Grandfathered" in to law? Or do I have to get rid of them before October 1st?
Thanks

Grandfathered

 

[Mooseman]

It is the same as it currently is with 20+ round magazines. You can own them, buy them out of state, use them, whatever. You just cannot buy, sell, trade, or give away within the State of Maryland.

I just got an email from NRA and it mentioned you couldn't transport them. Anyone else get that? I believe they are mistaken.

 

[MDGolom]

The law does not ban the use or transportation of magazines greater than 20 rounds.

 

[Mooseman]

You can transport them.

I'm "Ass"uming. We can keep what we have (grandfathered into new law)...Correct? As long as you possess proof of purchase before 10-1

 

[CATMdude]

yes

No, no, no. The law does not saw anything a out procession. You can still go out of state and buy 10+ magazines after 10/1. You won't need to prove anything.

If I recall correctly the new mag law is exactly the same as our current law, except its 10+ now.

 

[arbrand]

Reading this is music to my eyes(or ears), I hadn't realized this either.

 

[ericgunn]

10-4 thanks for the clarification. I didn't think there was a problem transporting them but when I got that email from NRA it had me puzzled.

Are you sure it didn't say "transfer?"

Not so

No

yes

Wrong!

Correct.

Lots of misinformation here.. niftyvt is right!
Come October 1, you cannot assemble, buy, sell or trade any magazine with more than a 10rd capacity in MD.
You can go to VA or any other state and buy any mags you want. Possession or use is not, repeat not, banned.

 

[CATMdude]

Wrong!

I was answering the first part of the question specifically, so I'm not wrong; he can keep his "grandfathered" magazines. I don't care if he keeps a receipt of purchase, it doesn't matter.

Is there anything about assembly in the law?

 

[Smokescreen]

I love how NBC4 nightly news a couple nights ago said that the bill said you could not put more than 10 "bullets" into any "clip" come October 1. The misinformation continues....

I think you mean manufacture. You can disassemble, clean or repair, and re-assemble any legally owned mags.

Just order your mags from 44mag.com as a parts kit and assemble over the border so the fvcking spooks and drones don't see you do it in Maryland.

 

[Streetgang]

Is there anything about assembly in the law?

Yes. From the bill:

A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than [20] 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm.

Correct.. poor choice of words by me. As far as ordering the kits... I think it's ok, but there are some who don't and it is walking a line...I'd prefer just to drive to VA and buy what I need there.

But by only saying yes, you agreed to him needing to have receipts, intentionally or not.
