I have a quick question regarding high-cap mags. I got my LTC-A the other day. So, if I understand correctly, I can purchase a handgun with a magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds only if the mag was made prior to sept'94. Is that correct?
If I were to buy a new M&P 9, it would come with a 10 round mag and I couldnt buy a 15 round mag because none were in existence before 9/94. If I were to buy a used Glock 17 that was made before 9/94, I could have high cap mags that came with it originally, but if I wanted to buy additional mags, they would have to be pre-ban.
So pretty much my only option for carrying a high capacity handgun is to buy one used which was made before 9/94, or buying a new gun in a model which was in production prior to 9/94 and then looking for mags which were made before 9/94. ( This is retarded...) I cant just go out and buy a new 15 round gun. (or mag)
Im just kind of realizing that the model of gun has a lot to do with your options for capacity, in this state at least. Newer model=10 round limit. Is my understanding of the law correct?
