Regarding the bust for the “large capacity” magazine: it was my understanding that Vermont’s law only prohibits the procurement of such devices after the date of enactment and any in possession up to that time are grandfathered. Unless there is proof of when the device was obtained, this is not prosecutable and the mere possession of such a device is not a violation. Also, thankfully a California Judge has recently ruled such magazine capacity restrictions unconstitutional. While that ruling does not specifically apply to Vermont’s law, it should eventually affect it as it winds it’s way through the courts. Any legal experts care to comment?
Same thoughts about the mag as Rich… interesting question I had though-
did this guy have a firearm to that mag in the vehicle as well? Will he get bail and go to recover his personal (constitutionally ensured) property from the state police and was handed back an AR-15 (just minus a MAG)? Then they slap an uninvestigated high cap mag charge just for funsies- because they had nothing else?
If that is what really happened, I find it hilarious.
Apologies-
***Did he get bail and go to recover his personal (constitutionally ensured) property from the state police to only be handed back an AR-15 (just minus a MAG)?****
There was no mention of whether a firearm was involved or the type of firearm.
As I understand it, according to Vermont law the max capacity for a NEWLY ACQUIRED magazine is 15 for a handgun and 10 for a long gun.
What If you have a “long Gun” say a PCC that takes hand gun mags and you also have a hand gun that takes the same mag? Would you get busted if the “long Gun” had a 15 rd mag in it? The mag should be ok because it is a hand gun mag it also just happens to fit in a PCC. It’s a Mag law not a gun law right?
What it is is another useless restriction that will contribute absolutely nothing toward public safety while offering opportunities to selectively prosecute people who progressives dont like…
Jane sixpack,
That might be stretching it a little. A carbine is still a “long gun”. I’m sure law enforcement would want to know when the PCC was purchased. If you purchased the PCC after the mag ban was signed into law then you should know you’re not supposed to put a 15 rd mag in a “long gun”. I’m just guessing.
Not sure if folks are aware but the federation of sportsman’s clubs is getting ready to die over the mag law and more. Great time to donate to them or gun owners of Vermont.
After bruen, we are winning ALOT and gun laws are far ng, but it takes money to sue these jerkoffs.
Moron labe
