Another sketchy law that i probably should be aware of, but is the article below correct in saying that pre-ban 30 round magazines are illegal in New York?

"On Sunday January 6th Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran, was driving through Jefferson County New York when he was randomly pulled over for a vehicle check. Haddad, who had five 30 round empty magazines in his possession, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and charged with five felony counts."

This particular case has "hit" and ARFCOM is doing a fund-raiser for this guy. Last count it was at $15000.00

 

Here's an older article:

His defense fund can be found here: http://www.gofundme.com/1tkukc

This article asserts that NY safe is not yet in effect yet?

 

Confused

As far as I know, the magazine ban, more specifically, the "Pre-Ban" mags were made illegal immediately.

I do not believe the act takes effect yet.

 

That said, the guy thought he had pre-ban mags which were not illegal but apparently they weren't pre-ban mags in which case they were illegal.

Right out of the horses mouth..you have 1 year to deal with all the pre-ban stuff.

Q: What if I have a magazine that can contain more than ten rounds?

 

A: You can permanently modify the magazine so that it holds no more than ten rounds, responsibly discard it, or sell it to a dealer or an out of state purchaser by January 15, 2014.

Interesting. now I'm wondering how any one would know pre-ban just by looking at them.

 

Like maybe the cops didn't know so they figured lets just arrest him and let God sort it out.

Well, they could be Pmags or something that just didn't exist back in the day.

As with ALL situations like this, there is MORE to the story than we are being privy too

 

That was my thought as I was warming up my coffee. It would be difficult to argue that the 30 round mags were pre-ban if they were a type that wasn't even manufactured pre-ban.

 

(If he has an invoice for the mags specifying that they were manufactured pre-ban, he should be golden. I have some mags that are blocked to 15-rounds and I always keep a copy of the invoice with the mag, JIC someone asks.)

I agree. Here's another version - http://offgridsurviv...es-armagazines/

NYS SAFE Act: Magazines:

 

10 round magazines legal to own provided they were obtained prior to 04/15/2013 - after that date, only 7 round magazines may be purchased. As stated previously there will be load restrictions on the 10 round mags.

 

Magazines greater than 10 rounds, i.e. those that are currently legal by virtue of the fact they were obtained prior to the 1994 federal AWB (NYS grandfathered those mags in 1994). Owners of said mags have one year (until 01/15/2014) to dispose of, by selling them out of state or turning them into the state, or alter those mags to seven round capacity.

 

Adios,

Randomly pulled over for a vehicle check? Wtf? NO you may NOT look in my car. Sounds like a violation of the 4th Amendment. Unless that doesn't apply in NY
