That's another good point. How many guys were using 15/30 or 15/20 mags for many years. They look like traditional "high capacity" mags. Has anyone been checked by a RO or LEO to verify that their mag only held 15? I've never heard it happening. So, will ROs or LEOs be out in force now at all ranges, checking to see if everyone has 10/30 or 10/20 mags instead of "high capacity" 15s? I doubt it.

I've left the area for employer blank, it's none of their business.

My opinion is to roll them all back and shoot for the stars. You have to shoot high to be able to possibly compromise back. There should be no lines.

Not much worse than sending in a swab of your mouth to 23andMe or some of those other DNA collection sites to see your ancestry. Have you done that?

I'm with you on that, any restriction is unconstitutional in my book. I came back into the sport after the 15 reduction took place, and on handguns, I can live with it (as unconstitutional as it is) because the guns that I like and fit my hand can't handle more than 15. Now with the long guns, I have a big issue with the restriction. Also, I have BIG issue with being made a felon after the fact, when I purchased something legally, and now, with no fault of my own, I'm a felon. That's BIG TIME unconstitutional!!!

Good question, I wasn't either. Maybe some of the old timers can fill us in, how much of a challenge was put up? I believe that was in 1990, how many people owned those scary "military assault weapons" back then?

Apparently, there wasn't a bigger fight and push back at the time, right? First, you have to stop the bleeding, then at that point, go and fix the bigger injury. Aren't there a hell of a lot more gun owners NOW compared to when the 15 round law was passed? They need to get off their asses and be part of the solution, right?

I got that first part completed, now looking for some property to do that second part.

Nope, people don't need to read your crazy a second time. They can scroll up if they need to. Not with Capt., anecedotes are undesputable facts. Were you there to see the total interaction to know if the guy made any type of threatening move, smacked the magazine in his hand or wall, raised his voice, etc.? Hearsay is inadmissible in a court of law, you should know that. Dogs usually don't attack unless they're triggered by something.

You were blaming the dog, instead of the previous owner. Remember this quote of yours? "No apparent reason" (except the dog's memory maybe)?

So, you think those previous experiences and memories with the cop were magically erased when the new family adopted it? I hate to break it to your sheer knowledge, but Labs, goldens and poodles are the most intelligent dog breeds.

So, since you've seen three, that means all dogs in that breed bite kids? No, the right OWNER is important. Don't get a dog (or a kid) if you can't afford to do the right thing and raise it right.

Where do I mail my check? Looking at the satellite, doesn't seem to have many neighbors nearby. Click on the small box on the bottom left for the satellite image.

There's a big issue, the new magazine law is a Ex post facto law: An ex post facto law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law. In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed; Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 (with respect to federal laws) and Article 1, Section 10 (with respect to state laws). So, if your 15 round mags were legal when you bought them, they are still legal now, right?

That's my question, in regards to the Hexmags, they were originally manufactured to be 30's, then "altered" to be a 15/30 or 10/30 with different parts and still have a removable floorplate. So, if you currently have a modified 15/30, slide off the floorplate and take the existing blocker and spring out, then slide in the 10 round blocker and spring, and slide the floorplate back on, what do you have?

Regarding the Hexmags, you're right. The shorter spring along with the blocker only allows them to function as a 10 rounder. On that specific point, I agree. I was coming from the different angle that these reduced cap mags aren't sold with epoxied or welded floorplates, so it's really easy to open, remove the existing spring/blocker and slide in a different spring. I guess it's that "Permanently modified" part of the law that I feel they don't meet. But hey, I'm not a lawyer and just as confused on these "gray areas" as everyone else, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

I brought up that Hexmag just as one example regarding (lack of) permanent floorplates. Actually it is the discussion, see the title of the thread. People have been discussing modifying mags in general too.

I've also seen other manufacturers do that, retain the original spring but install a blocker, and the floorplate is removable. So, the blocker can be removed, and the mag is it's original capacity, spring and all. They claim "NJ compliant" too, and I've never seen any NJSP or other legal challenges to them. I'm sure there are a bunch of those mags currently in possession in the state, and taken to the range regularly.

Yes, it's a shorter spring, but the base plate isn't welded or epoxied, so it can be removed, so I believe that isn't considered "permanent", yet they claim it is compliant: ...." Magazine capacity is regulated by SENTRY's patented True Riser® System inside of a standard size body which is designed to meet strict compliance regulations in specific regions of the United States. " OK, but aren't they still considered "compliant" with the 15 round max, even if the modification isn't permanent?

Has anyone been arrested because of it? I haven't heard of any.

OK, so how were these Hexmag mags NJ legal and accepted for the past decade or two? ...." This has all been done here at the Hexmag facility to eliminate 3rd party dealer “blocking”, “pinning”, or “gluing” the magazines ultimately saving the dealer and consumer considerable amounts of money. The Hexmag 15/30 15 round magazines were made for New Jersey and Colorado. If you live in one of these states or areas with a magazine capacity restriction you are not alone, rest assured that Hexmag has your back." https://hexmag.com/best-gun-blogs/patented-hexmag-true-riser-system

Huh????

Permit or not, Homeowner or not, you always do the work per code, then there's nothing to rip out. Like I said, I thought there was more to the story.... Doesn't sound like just a kitchen redo, but a whole new kitchen with new utilities. For $65K, it also sounds like a whole bunch of non code compliant work, then really, Really, REALLY pissing off the inspector when he got caught. Like it or not, an inspector can really ruin your day if you piss them off. Could of been that too, which would have brought the wrath of Zoning down on him, along with the Building Dept.

That's probably closer to the truth than sarcasm, unfortunately. We don't need to give them any more ammo.

Have you ever called the building department and asked those questions? I've dealt with tons and tons of inspectors. There's a whole lot more to that story if they're making him do a $65K rip out. That doesn't happen for a basic kitchen.
