New purchase, Came with a 18 round mag.

Sdexcalibur said:
What happens if a LGS gives you a 18 round mag with a new handgun purchase? It only came with a single mag. The person had a chance to see if there is a stopper in it, not even sure if that is a real thing. The shop didn't have any spare mags to buy so it is not like that can swap it out. It will be used by the person as a range gun at best. What advice can I pass along?

Huh? What’s wrong with the magazine?

What SHOULD we do, Maura?

I strongly disagree. There are plenty of ways that you could get investigated for which the police may not be able to make a case against you. But holding onto a post-ban magazine that is clearly postban is just handing them a felony conviction. Other stuff might have been hard for them to prove, but for many postban magazines it’s a slam dunk conviction and now you are a federally prohibited person.

It’s just not worth that risk.

Sorry i disagree.

If you're at the point where they are counting how many rounds your mag holds

Chances are you did something really really really dumb to precipitate that... and you're not getting out of it either way

A lot of charges can be questionable. Remember the fellow in Western MA who shot a home intruder and then 10 or 15 minutes later shot him again and killed him? He was recently acquitted.

If he had used a postban large capacity magazine, he would now be a felon.

Don’t give law enforcement an easy conviction. Make them work for it.

How would that help you?

They arrest you, confiscate all your stuff, find the illegal magazines, and now you’re toast, even if you beat the original more serious charge.

Again, don’t give them an easy win.

if it is a 'risk' or a 'meh' depends upon what else will be found in your residence if the good lovable peacekeeping gestapo busts your doors and starts tearing walls down in the effort to find what is it you may possibly have.

according to GOAL - any ar15 lower that is post-94 will grant you a similar fed jail time as a 10+ rounds mag. so, well, it is a game you play, if one wants to be guaranteed safe - just surrender all you have to the police department. as all other scenarios under the current absence of a clear law do not guarantee any safety whatsoever.

Postban ar15s lowers are arguable.

Postban large cap mags (like Gen5 Glock mags or SIG P365 mags) are not arguable. They are a slam dunk conviction. Why do you want to give them a slam dunk conviction?

Call the police immediately!
 
Back when I bought one of my HK P30s, there was a shortage of factory HK 10 round commie mags, so they just pinned 15/10 rounders and threw it in the case. Pullman Arms was not happy when I tried to sell to a buyer and wanted them to transfer it. I told them it came pinned from HK like that but their worker, short stout guy with the glasses grabbed the mags, glared at me, and told one of his workers to take it back and load it up and CHECK IT. Dude was using all his might and upper body trying to jam in 11 and couldn't do it and finally gave up after 5 min and allowed the transfer lol.

i am tired of those threads. it will never lead nowhere.

it is already clear of what is in the game for gun owners, over pretty much anything.
all in this so called law was made to be universally applicable to no matter what situation and circumstances a person may get

so that is why i say - there are no laws anymore, there is only a dictatorship of the ruling elite that made it a war level policy against the people, to be able to prosecute anyone for anything with no real reason needed, at all. it is what we got now, at this moment of this factual reality, so, deal with it.
do not like it - go to police station and surrender yourself with all your stuff, but as even if you will handle over everything - they still gonna have enough tricks in the sleeve to charge you with something you were not even aware of. there is 0 clarity now of what is or was lawful and what never was. and all of that is by design and on purpose.

This is the kind of complete BS that makes me glad I DON'T live in the PRM.
