Well, we can at least count on the criminals and thugs out there to follow this part of the legislation, right?
But I can retain possession in my home of magazines larger than 10 rounds, and transport them, legally?
What about those who bought their handgun while a resident in another state, then brought them in with them when they moved to Maryland before this draconian bill came into being? Do we have to prove they were bought elsewhere?
Yeeaaahhh, Riiiigggghhhttt!Well, we can at least count on the criminals and thugs out there to follow this part of the legislation, right?
According to sgt23preston @11 this has happened before, and the past is prolog.The solution is simple and already used by Mec-Gar (magazine manufacturer). They make 10rd mags for Sig and offer 13rd "high cap" mags in the aftermarket. The only difference is the plastic piece which rests on top of the spring. On the 10 rd mags it's larger, taking up more space and reducing the capacity. I'm sure that the big manufacturers will adopt this type of technology. For anyone to say that Glock, Sig, S&W or any other manufacturer wont sell to MD'ers anymore is simply over reacting.
. I'm sure that many of us have semi-automatic handguns that were purchased legally in Maryland, that came with magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. What will be our situation after 10/1?? Will those guns need to be registered to be kept? .

now, let's be honest: we already HAD a federal assault weapon ban that caused these manufacturers to sell us all, nationwide, those double-stack semi-auto pistols with 10-round magazines. so i don't think we should assume it will never happen.BUT gun manufacturers of double stack semi auto pistols don't offer 10 mags...
We are discussing a question that has no real answers until (if) somthing emerges from the reconcilation committee at 11:50 pm 4/8 .
Simply the nature of the questions will guide House floor amendments , and the reconciliation committee.
Have patientce , ask your questions on 4/9 , it's not as if you can do any meaningful purchases between now and then.
