Who can purchase "hi-cap" mags...

[FreeState]

The following is a quote from SB281 regarding who can buy hi-cap mags, 11 rounds or more. It is pretty clear that any law enforcement officer currently on duty or retired can by mags of any size.

"4–305.

16 SENATE BILL 281

(a) This section does not apply to:

(1) a .22 caliber rifle with a tubular magazine; OR

(2) A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR A PERSON WHO RETIRED IN GOOD STANDING FROM SERVICE WITH A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES, THE STATE, OR ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN THE STATE.

(b) A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than [20] 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm. "

To think if MOM was a capitalist - Hi-Cap for sale in MD. Loss of sales tax!

Yep, it looks that way. Never cared to read COMAR to see what that says, though.

That is why the law is such a joke.

I only buy the standard capacity 30 rounders. PA is full of them.

This is misleading. The exceptions are for those who can purchase "standard capacity" magazines. Us serfs are stuck with "low capacity" magazines.

 

[silanehead]

Not really asking but:
What necessary reason does retired law enforcement need 10 + round mags for?
I mean, as compared to retired Army or Marines.

Just pointing out the irony.

I would imagine the answer would be that retired law enforcement officers can actually carry the weapons, as opposed to retired military personnel. Military training, in most cases, is for very different circumstances.

That said, although I'm active in one of these capacities and retired from another, I bought a fair number of standard capacity magazines in September, just in case, although I still might just go back to PA anyway. No matter what, I'm leaving MD when I retire from the day job.

And yes, the law is just plain dumb across the board. Having an exemption doesn't make me any sort of a supporter, it just softens the blow in a personal sense, a little.

So, handgun see to a LEO would allow the transfer of the standard capacity mag?

Anyone know if it's legal to buy mag "repair" kits online and drive out of state to assemble them?

Perfectly legal.

I always wonder.. figured someone could help...
What do they mean by transfer?

Standard capacity is correct....

 

[rtmhunter]

Anyone know if it's still legal to buy +1 or +2 handgun mag kits online and have them shipped into MD?

 

[DC-W]

Nothing wrong with buying them and shipping them here, but...
If you take a magazine and make it over 10 rounds, you're breaking the law.
Buy a bunch a take a little day trip to PA or VA

 

[Robert1955]

That stupidity is why I bought 3 extra STD capacity factory magazines to go with the 3 that came with my G17 I had the 3 extras in my hand 60 days before I was able to pick up my pistol. My next trip out of state will see me returning with some magazines to go with my 2 lowers I am building

Anyone know? Any insight on this at all?

 

[Blaster229]

So.... I doubt any ffl will sell any to someone plunking down a set of creds.

Stupid law.
