vindictive bitch. she's the reason we have restraining orders, and why you cant buy a gun if subject to one.

This won't end well.

You of course mean often needlessly subject to them without merit.

Always beware the angry ex. They can truly devastate on numerous levels without just cause.

Brother that is an understatement if I ever one.

I would think they would need to find and qualify an expert to testify about the magazine (construction, materials, etc. that prove that it's a "post-ban" model). Good luck with that.

Another possibility is that they could piece together the transaction and/or use the wife's testimony, or perhaps he was dumb enough to make incriminating statements.

this is usually how it goes, isn't it? when under LEO pressure, it seems the normal response is to "spill the beans" and hope they "understand."

in an effort to seem "helpful."

I have no idea how it went in this case, though the article says he declined to be questioned by police - of course, he might have still let something small slip.

My guess is the ex-wife made some allegations about when, how, and from whom he acquired the magazine that provided some basis beyond its mere capacity, to give them PC. Maybe there is a vendor and a paper trail out there, and a witness, who will say it's a post-ban mag and he bought it out of state and brought it back in.

On the other hand, maybe they have no way of proving it's a post-ban mag unless they get a manufacturer's expert in there to dissect the magazine and explain why it's a post-ban model. I hope this guy has a lawyer who understands or can learn about all of this.

There's a reason why the villagers used to burn them when you died.
