Paradiddle Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is legal to be in possession of replacement parts for magazines greater than 10 rounds, and to purchase the same in California for the purpose of refurbishing such magazines. That is correct. It is also completely on the prosecuter to PROVE you didn't own those hi-caps before the ban. As long as you are of age and your mags aren't marked, it would be a tough sale in court to prove you made them recently. Now if you are 22, and have a brand new OLL with 30 round mags you are probably asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 1981. All the man said was "thanks." Ownership of magazines has never had an age requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what everyone says - "I swear officer, my dad took me to gun shows when and I'd put the 30 rounders in my stroller!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
