You might want to re-check the state law on magazine capacity. I talked to the pistol clerk the other day, and was told magazine capacity is based on the date of purchase of THE GUN, not the magazines. In otherwords, if you register a handgun tomorrow you are allowed to have ONLY 10 round magazines for it no matter WHEN they were made.

Obviously, in a full civil breakdown it doesn't really matter, but until Armageddon, it might be important.

I may be wrong, she may be wrong, or there may have been a communication breakdown, but that is how I understood what she told me....
