Whats the deal with "high cap" magazines in regards to handguns?.
(Capacity, civilian posession of "leo only", purchasing from out of state, etc)

What is the waiting period in Mass (Never addressed and I'm getting conflicting reports)

What is the legality of things such as folding ./ telescoping stocks on rifles / shotguns?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thus, we may not be able to tell the difference, but an aspiring DA (running for higher office) who wants to "get tough on crime" may just make an example of someone and bring in experts who can testify that an unmarked mag is post-ban due to the construction. It's easy to get screwed on this one, even if you try hard to do everything legal! [GOAL knows that they couldn't get the mag ban dropped this legislative cycle, so they chose not to try to get it changed.]

Now that the ban is gone in most other states, they can have new guns with those old evil features. We can not.

There is a REAL problem with the magazines...in the old days no magazines were marked, then they were marked LE Only during the ban, now they are not being marked anymore...so my concern is how do you prove that your old preban mags are really preban? A bit scary if you ask me. Now certainly if you have a high capacity magazine for a gun made after the AWB first took place that's an easy GO TO JAIL...but what happens if a guy get's stopped with an old sig and an old preban mag...hmmmm.

F*CK BATF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Attorney General of the U.S. and Justice Department needs to do a better job of reining in and overseeing those bureaucratic faggots who should perhaps focus on illicit gun trade issues rather than what COP is carry what off-duty!!!!

And for every state/municipal prosecutor who goes forward with charges against any qualified LEO carrying under HR 218

I suggest that you re-read the law as it was passed, very carefully. It is not as simple as you state. Everyone must meet "state standards of qual" annually and have proof of same. Some states don't have state-wide standards (each agency makes its own rules, e.g. FL), some agencies won't certify retirees (and/or won't issue retired IDs). If one is retired but doesn't have 15 years AND qualify for a pension (some exceptions for on-the-job disability retirement), you don't meet the HR218 requirements.

USMCTrooper posted in another HR218 thread regarding some other issues and allegedly a plan to attempt to modify the law to "tighten up" who does qualify.
