States with restricted magazine capacity question

[1859sharps]

Are there any states with magazine capacity restrictions that allow "pre ban" magazines to be still be purchased?

Doing some Googling and the answer seems to be no...yet a couple states I could not find a clear answer. However, I figured the members here would know for sure.

Reason I ask, California as you probably know has outlawed possession of "large capacity" magazines. I happen to have some AR and Mini 14 magazines that are new in the wrapper from the very early 90s before any magazine laws were passed. IF there is a way for someone in another state that has bans on new production only to legally buy these (assuming such a situation exists), I would like to give them first shot at these magazines.

price would be fair, and full details and picture would get posted in the items to sell forum. I don't have enough posts to ask in the General discussion section, and this was the next closest forum hence me asking here.

Colorado will let you. A few years ago Colorado enacted a capacity limit of 15 or 20 rounds. However they still let you keep your regular standard capacity magazines. A lot of people just cross the border to other states to buy them now. It should also be nothed that a lot of the Sheriff's aren't enforcing the law.

It is illegal in Colorado to transfer any mag over 15 rounds or to bring any 15+ round mag into the state. IF you had mags prior to the ban you are allow to keep them, but you are not allowed to transfer them ever. As an example I can't give them to my kids, although I transfered quite a few to them prior to the law taking effect. While the law is not enforced and even some retail shops display and sell 20 and 30 round mags to anyone it's still not legal.

Some of our Massachusetts members had navigated these waters, perhaps they will chime in.

NY does not because the SAFEact made everyone safer..

Washington is good to go with for now. Probably not much longer, but for now.

How could one prove they had a grandfathered mag?

Since 1994, many magazines have "freshness dates" stamped or molded into the bodies.

Here in Maryland, it is illegal to sell or transfer a magazine of more than 10 rounds capacity, but full capacity magazines are legal to possess. As long as you purchase and take possession of them out of the state they are legal to bring back behind the lines.

I know, stupid...

Depending on how the election goes, mags may become an issue. I suspect mag capacities are on top of the list. If so, I guarantee they will attempt an outright ban rather than any sort of grandfather clause which Californians are now dealing with. Go vote people and take a busload of others with you.
