Details please .... I am not aware of any mags that were marked "LE Only" before the 1994 federal ban.
is it legal Using 1980 mags 13 round that have "LE only" in ma
B I N G O ....you be a felon if busted with those mags!LE markings were never put on mags prior to 9/14/1994.
Yup.ok. so as far as i understand if its LE it post ban for sure?
Do you know this for a FACT (ie, you could testify to it with certainty as expert witness?)LE markings were never put on mags prior to 9/14/1994.
Has anybody ever been prosecuted for possessing LE mags and not being a LEO?
That "hair" could be the difference between a felony conviction and acquittal.And nobody in 1980 would have had a thought in their head to tag mags as LE Only. We're not splitting hairs here about mags made in September 1994 but prior to the ban.

Some companies have had long standing polities of certain products being LE only, irrespective of any bans. Winchester LE Only ammo (plenty of leakage into the civilian market) and Federal 9BPLE (very little leakage come to mind). It is not inconceivable that some company would have market a product "LE only" (although the only examples I have are certain types of ammo). I know the Glock 33 round mag was "LE only" way bac when (not marked as such, but not sold in civilian channels)
If you can prove it's made in 1980 why does the LE matter?
I highly doubt it. Maybe, just maybe if you were arrested for a crime and they were trying to pile on extra charges then maybe. But I have a hard time believing that any police officer would care what a regular, law abiding citizen who is at the range shootin had for a magazine. Most of my friends and colleagues are police officers, state troppers, corrections officers and so on, and not one of them could care less what non-criminal sportsman and gun enthusiasts have for gear.Has anybody ever been prosecuted for possessing LE mags and not being a LEO?
