Handgun Magazine Ban?

[Tom Servo]

CA state law prohibits "exposing for sale" any large capacity magazine.

Thanks for the correction. I was under the impression they could sell them to an FFL.

Then again, no FFL is going to want them if he can't sell them.

Correction: "large capacity" magazines may be offered for sale to out of state buyers. So you can sell them on Gun Broker or Guns America, etc, but with the caveat that you don't ship them to a state where their possession and sale is prohibited (e.g., California, NY, and Massachusetts, probably a few others like NJ and Maryland, Cook county Illinois...yada yada).

Correction: "large capacity" magazines may be offered for sale to out of state buyers.

Sadly, the plain language of the Penal Code does not have that exception. PC 32310,

a) Except as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section 32400) of this chapter and in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, commencing January 1, 2000,
any person in this state who

manufactures or causes to be manufactured,
imports into the state,
keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or
who gives, lends, buys, or receives

any large-capacity magazine is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170.

If I am a person in this state (and I am), I am prohibited from offering those magazines for sale.
