I think I figured out what "possession of ammunition of an unlawful caliber" is
A negative caliber would violate the laws of physics.

The same people responsible for terms like semi-automatic service revolver. Meh, at best.
a hollow point creates a very small black hole (where the hollow is) and sucks everything into it. Got it?

Yes they are unless the law has changed recently
I was referring to CCW with hollow points, so I guess we are both right. Not that anyone can CCW in NJ anyway, so I guess the distinction is moot.
Here are the gun and hollow point ammo seized in the arrest of ROOSEVELT WILKINS described in previous posting. As several readers have correctly noted, hollow point bullets are not illegal, provided you have the proper license for them. The charges in this case are for not being properly licensed to possess the ammo.
Wait... reading the charges... Is there a Boston City Ordinance against HPs?
I've never heard of it, but just thinking out loud.
They posted a "correction" or "update" or whatever you want to call it to gloss their ignorance over...
I don't even understand why hollow points are controversial. Yes, I know they can be more deadly, but they're safer for everyone else around. They won't penetrate walls or your target keeping everyone else around the target safer. Seems you would want people to use those instead.

I thought this right as I read this... I know the city of Boston has an ordinance against Hi cap mags regardless if its preban or not..
WILKINS was charged with: Carrying a Firearm without a license (second offense); carrying a firearm with ammunition; carrying a firearm without an FID card (Second Offense); possession of a firearm with one prior violent /drug crime; possession of ammunition without a FID Card; and possession of ammunition of an unlawful caliber.
My understanding was that NJ only outlawed hollow points if you used them in a crime. What's in subsection "f"?NJ BS laws said:Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f

NOT TRUE!!
Handgun mags are NOT restricted in Boston. The Boston Ordinance is strictly about RIFLES & SHOTGUN Mags (and there is no such thing in Boston as "pre-ban mags", they are all banned if large-capacity), NOT handgun mags. I've also yet to see a handgun mag that goes with a S&W Chief's Special (which is what this particular handgun looks like)!
I think the its the same reason we can't carry them over seas according to Geneva Convention, they cause excessive damage.
But the corrected article still mentions the mythic "unlawful caliber." That .38 Spcl is a cop killer, doncha know.
This is right from there facebook page .

s that was hialrious. It was a play on words right. . . .

and possession of ammunition of an unlawful caliber
What is this charge? He had a .38.
So, as an LTC-A Unrestricted, I can own an item that is perfectly legal in Massachusetts (pre-ban rifle large-capacity mag), and drive with it in my car, but once I cross the Boston City Limits I'm breaking the law ?

Excessive Damage ? Unlike Flame Throwers, Grenades, Mines, 2-Ton Bombs, the list goes on......
