G21 is my daily carry with a 10 Rd Mag and (2) 10 Rd Mags on my six. I call them my Dual Lumbar Support.
April/May/June in the year of the Covid I had (4) 10 Rd Mags on my six. There was some weird shit going on.
I have 13 Rd Pre-Ban Mags, loaded in the safe next to my bed. I'm comfortable with carrying (30) Rds vs (39) Rds.
I know I'm within the law, but a lot of Police don't know or understand the law, I'm not going to be the one to educate them.
Worst case, for what ever reason, say mistaken identity, I'm up against a wall getting frisked.
Hey, this guy has High Capacity Magazines, you're under arrest. The mistaken identity doesn't pan out, but now they have this.
You post your bail, pay a hefty retainer for a Firearms Attorney, and then they show up at your house to take anything firearms related.
If you're lucky, your Lawyer will get it dismissed at your arraignment. If not, by the time of your Pre-Trial it should be dismissed.
Now, you've got to try and get all your shit back. If you only have three Firearms, they might have them at the Station.
If you're like me and most NES members, you're not even sure how many you have, they're at a Bonded Warehouse.
You will have to pay the Transfer out and then the Transfer back to you and daily storage fees. This could also apply to Ammo & Magazines as well.
Forget about the mental anguish, what will the lost days from work, retainer for the Lawyer, all the Transfer Fees cost . . . . $5,000.00, if you're lucky.
I started carrying a G21 around 2012, before that I carried a G17. I didn't use 10 Rd Mags, I used 17 Rd Pre-Ban Mags.
I was standing in line at the North Beverly CVS around Midnight. A Cop came in, took a quick look around the store and fixed his eyes on me.
I was putting my purchase on the counter when he said to me in a loud voice "I need you to come outside, right now".
I nonchalantly said "May I pay for my purchase first", he nodded yes. I got my change and my bag and headed for the exit, which he was standing in.
We stopped outside the front door and I asked him what was up, after a few seconds he said you're all set, you can go. No explanation, no apology.
I figured someone was sitting in their car to ID somebody but it wasn't me. I had (3) 17 Rd Pre-Ban Mags on me, I wasn't too concerned, I was in my hometown.
The Firearms guy was a Captain and VP of Hamilton Wenham Rod & Gun Club, and I had his cell, it would've been quashed before any paperwork was generated.
A couple days later I started to wonder what would've happened if they thought I was the person they were looking for, and I was in Salem or Peabody.
I switched to a G21 not that long after and decided based on what could've been to switch to 10 Rd Mags. I hate this friggin State and I can't wait to be a full time NH Resident.
I haven't posted this picture in a month or so, I think it's time to do it again.
