areacode201 4 Posted April 12, 2012 Anyone over 15 rounds is illegal, even if you don't own the firearm associated with the mag. For example, I don't own an AR or any rifle for that matter, but it is still illegal for me to possess 30 round AR mags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronald Silver 2 Posted April 12, 2012 Probably someone trying to justify their "45" Sure is funny to watch those 45 ACP guys at the range spend a lot of time pushing ammo in the mag. Notice how the 6 shooters dump, easily drop ammo in, & slam? (Okay so we don't actually slam the cylinders like they do in movies) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmetoo 41 Posted April 12, 2012 So you people are saying 30 round magazines aren't dangerous? Don't you realize how much damage they can cause? Just think, if you step on one badly you could sprain your ankle! And don't get me started about drum mags... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teufelhunden 6 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I thought the mag restriction only applied to semi-auto firearms. What if you had a high cap mag for a non-semi auto? I can't think of such a mag but If one exists would it be legal? Also, what about semi-auto shotguns? Would owning a mag that holds more than 6 rounds be legal if you do not own the shotgun that uses them? What if you owned a semi-auto shotgun and a 7rd mag but didn't attach it? I'll assume that one is constructive intent. edit- I just thought of a scenario- What if you owned a Ruger .22 bolt action that accepts 10/22 mags and a 50rd mag, and you don't own a 10/22?

vjf915 456 Posted April 14, 2012 Cant word it any better Yes, it can be worded better, because it's missing a crucial part. It's for semi-auto firearms. Teufelhunded beat me to it...but I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this fact. A detachable magazine can hold more than 15 rounds IF it only works in firearms that are not semi-automatic. If it fits in any semi-automatic firearm, it's illegal. edit- I just thought of a scenario- What if you owned a Ruger .22 bolt action that accepts 10/22 mags and a 50rd mag, and you don't own a 10/22? No dice. That's illegal because you own a magazine that accepts more than 15 rounds, and will work in a semi-automatic firearm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy4570 15 Posted April 15, 2012 Probably someone trying to justify their "45" Doubt it. No M1911 has ever had a magazine capacity of 6 rounds. 7 was the standard. Nowadays you can get single stack magazines from 7 to 15 rounds, and double stack magazines in a variety of capacities as well for firearms chambered in .45ACP that uses such a design. Sure is funny to watch those 45 ACP guys at the range spend a lot of time pushing ammo in the mag. Notice how the 6 shooters dump, easily drop ammo in, & slam? (Okay so we don't actually slam the cylinders like they do in movies) Won't see that from me much. I only have 7 round magazines, but the key word is magazines, plural. At about $6 a magazine, why not have 10+ of them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLTW 3 Posted April 15, 2012 Someone once mentioned if you need more than 6 rounds in a gunfight, you better run It was probably someone that likes revolvers. I knew a cop that liked his revolver for off duty and would say the same thing... I have to say he was an excellent shot so you probably didn't need more than 6...

vjf915 456 Posted April 16, 2012 I have to say he was an excellent shot so you probably didn't need more than 6... Adrenaline? Multiple targets? Malfunction on one of the rounds? Freezes when confronted with a fight? There's PLENTY of people that are great at standing still and shooting paper that isn't moving. It's a whole different ball game when you need to move and hit a target that's also moving and shooting back at you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy4570 15 Posted April 16, 2012 Original Officer's models were 6-round mags. Oh, that's one of those new compact versions, right? I'm only familiar with the fullsize models. John Browning designed the pistol with a 7 round magazine. Didn't even think that anyone would make one even smaller than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
