Here's one that I have trouble believing, but I'd like to debunk it for curiosity's sake. I was at a dealer (in Mass) a couple of months ago, and I noticed a particular pistol in the case. I asked to take a look at it, and when I looked at the magazine, it appeared to me to be a new, post-ban hi cap mag. The gun was also new, and when I asked the fellow behind the counter about the mag (and more specifcally it's age) He stated quite adamantly that due to the fact that the hi-cap "came with the gun" it was considered part of the gun and therefore legal. I kinda scratched my head on this, and asked a few other questions pertaining to the subject, but he held his position firmly. I thanked him for his time, and went about my merry way. He also stated that he could not get "replacement" hi-cap mags for the same (or any other) gun, as they did NOT "come with the gun". If this were the case, it would make for some very strange hybrid scenarios (interchanging mags between guns, selling hard to get hi cap mags, etc.)
FWIW, I had trouble believing this, as I've never heard any other dealer (or individual for that matter) support this "policy". Yet stranger things in Mass. have occurred...
Anyone else heard this before?
