Heard something.....is it true?

[U.S. Patriot]

That limit was only for manufacturers at the time. You could still carry a full capacity magazine...although it would of had to been manufactured before the ban.

I should have clarified better.

A buddy of mine heard from a friend that there is a limit to the number of rounds you can carry in a clip. Anyone have a link to this? I think his buddy is full of crap.

this is the main problem with your statement...whenever someone says a friend of a friend.
or My cousins sisters little nephew told me one time
whenever you here it from so many people chances are it's not true

 

[LawDog76]

Depends on where your buddy lives. They may have a city ordnance in place. Indiana State law has no limit. Ohio State law is 30. Chicago, Ohio aka Toledo, Ohio city ordnance limit is 10 rounds.

On the flip side, I have never seen nor heard of a law saying how many mags you may carry on your person. Just saying.

 

[EPD1102]

In Indiana, the only thing limiting how many rounds you can put in a magazine is controlled by the length of the magazine.

 

[Caleb]

no, not true

 

[MeAndMyXD]

I was told the same thing by a friend, he also told me it was illegal to have one in the chamber.


Can cities set regs. on these issues even though state law says its OK?


IMO if your mag holds 100 rounds you should be able to hold a 100 rounds in it.

Yes it's true and if you are caught you will be sent to a FEMA detention camp.

and your house and property will be sold to pay the 200 million a day it is costing us for Obama to be in India.

it is true in OH, look it up, but I have been told many times by numerous sources that in ohio a magazine that holds more than 31 rounds turns your firearm into a machine gun, I know it sounds screwy, but I know reputable law enforcement officers that have also corroborated this claim

Not unless it was on the books before the current state laws on firearms were enacted.

Screwy doesnt begin to describe it since the ATF definition of a machine gun is:

The definition of machinegun in the National Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act includes a part or parts that are designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun. This language includes a device that, when activated by a single pull of the trigger, initiates an automatic firing cycle that continues until the finger
is released or the ammunition supply is exhausted.

Sorry, I was wrong.

ORC 2921.11 E states

(E) "Automatic firearm" means any firearm designed or specially adapted to fire a succession of cartridges with a single function of the trigger. "Automatic firearm" also means any semi-automatic firearm designed or specially adapted to fire more than thirty-one cartridges without reloading, other than a firearm chambering only .22 caliber short, long, or long-rifle cartridges.
