Gun show or mail order for Hi Cap mags

Slackdaddy · Nov 4, 2020

Not for me, neighbor was asking if he should mail order hi-cap mags or go the VA gun show.
I did not have the legal expertise to give him a solid answer,, and realy did not know what to tell him. I was unsure if "Mail order" is considered "Out of state" purchase?

It’s not. You can order rebuild kits then put them together out of state. Easiest to go out of state to purchase.

No to mail order...violation of state law. Tell him to go a VA gun show.

Assuming he lives in Maryland, he would have to take possession out of state.

Mail order is a no-no in Maryland.

I will let him know, that is what I thought.
He was leaning mail order because "they would mail them" , so he thought it was legal.

He is another new "covid/riots" gun owner.

No sale, purchase, manufacture or transfer in Maryland. They mail them, he gets the package, that’s a transfer. Possession is legal.

Gunshow, pay cash. Your name is Art Vandalay, and you're in the import/export business.

An good luck finding anybody that will ship them to MD. Go out of State, SOON.

As everyone else already said, go to a show. If you're in central or northern MD, there is a Gettysburg show coming up in mid December. Smaller crowds, no lines, cheaper ticket, always lots of mags to be adopted to a good home.

If you order them, they could show up when you're on the John. That would be bad.

Is there such a thing as high capacity magazines? Should we instead use the words "standard capacity," or "magazines of greater than ten round capacity," or simply "magazines not legal to purchase in Maryland"?

I'm tired of playing leftist word games that infringe upon civil rights.

There are both high capacity magazines and standard capacity magazines. And either one may be less than or more than 10 rounds.

Standard cap mags for a 1911 are 7 or 8 rounds. They do make 10 round high capacity and even 15 round ones.

For a P320, the standard capacity mags are 17 rounds, and there are 21 round high capacity mags.

I say 10+ round magazines. It's a basic definition without saying "standard/high" capacity.

noddaz · Nov 10, 2020

Nope

You cannot legally buy, sell, or give the magazines to another person IN Maryland. Mail Order is not out of state because the mag is being sent to Maryland. You or your friend can go to another state and buy them and bring them back. But you or your friend can't buy, sell or give them to anybody once you are back in Maryland. You and your friend could not even swap them if you changed your mind about the color or brand. That's right, you are STUCK with them. You probably could not even "give" them to the police to get them out of your life. :lol2:

Oh, the horror. Being stuck having mags that hold more than 10 rounds. Might as well shoot with them!

THier · Nov 10, 2020

Here's my argument,

AR15 rifles standard mag is 30rnd correct?

Beretta packages 15rnd mags from the factory.

Glock19 is 15rnd also.

Yada yada yada,

SO, how is it they are deemed "high capacity" if it is standard?

Sorry, I posted B4 I saw your post.

NewTwo · Nov 10, 2020

I find the gun show is the easiest option. Cheaper too since you don't need to pay for shipping.

steves1911 · Nov 10, 2020

Visit some out of state gun stores. Local shop in berkeley springs has 30rnd pmags for $13. Lots of hi cap glock mags...walls and bins full of them for much better prices than gunshows.

You've never seen the 60 round drums? But I agree with your sentiment.

Sportsman Warehouse in Harrisburg was loaded with 30 round mags last time I was there.
