Any case examples of someone with +1/2/3/X extension on pre-ban mag?
I have some pre ban G26 mags. (10 round pre ban)If it’s pre-ban, any extension is irrelevant; it’s pre-ban and not subject to capacity limits.
What *might* be interesting is what happens when you put a +2 baseplate on a post-ban 10 round magazine. Like a Glock 26 mag that will go to 12 rounds with the extension.

Part of the problem is that the LEO told me that if there was an incident in which you used your Glock with a hi-cap pre-ban mag for self defense, you would be charged for illegal possession of a hi-cap mag, and would then have to prove to the court that it was pre-ban. How would you do that?
And a +2 baseplate on a pre-ban is...?A +2 baseplate on a post-ban 10 round is clearly a violation.
The catch all will be ‘resisting’ ‘disturbing the peace’ stuff like that until they come up with something else or cut you loose.

What makes you so sure of this? During the Fed AWB the ATF issued the Bardwell letter which gave the opinion that a modified preban magazine could be considered a new magazine due to its modification. That was a different issue than increasing capacity, but I view that opinion as an argument supporting a prosecution claim that a modified magazine is a new post ban magazine. To my knowledge your view has never been tested much as I would like to believe a court would also see it that way.If it’s pre-ban, any extension is irrelevant; it’s pre-ban and not subject to capacity limits.
These cases are always leo, military, polit involved. I’ve never heard of a regular Joe getting jammed for this. If you are an inocuous individual with no bone to pick nor pot to stir then just stay under the radar and if you’re faced with a runin with authority just be honest, humble, and full of integrity. It’s best not to talk about it with anyone but those you trust.I know of one incident where an LTC holder was charged with large capacity violations for possession of pre-ban glock mags. I do not know the outcome though. It was evidently a pissed off cop in a dispute with a constable.
You’re a lost causeIf this were true why have there been no arrests? Every incident I hear about the High Capacity magazine charge is added on to multiple other charges. Among the other charges is usually no permit at all, never mind a class A.
This sort of “I herd this guy say that” just leads to more internet paranoia. When I hear an actual news story of a MA class A LTC gun owner arrested for his High Capacity mag (pre or post ban) with no other charges at all then I will become concerned. Until then I have better things to worry about.
I would like to think that but then there's the situation where someone runs into the cop that OP spoke to, or the one that ripped apart a fix mag AR to make it into a AW. There are some hardcore a-holes out there.These cases are always leo, military, polit involved. I’ve never heard of a regular Joe getting jammed for this.

Yes, the OP post was regarding an acquaintance and the JC arms guy has a story that is yet to be detailed AFAIK. Thanks to the NES esquires and dealers with above standard customer support and advice. I’m not saying it won’t happen but in a litigious society I would rather err on open honesty appealing to conscience rather than “lawyer up” mentality. That’s just my humble opining. I appreciate lawyers and the function they have in society but there is a problem in this country, generally speaking, of utilizing that function rather excessively. With firearms related legalities the pendulum does swing towards “lawyer up”.I would like to think that but then there's the situation where someone runs into the cop that OP spoke to, or the one that ripped apart a fix mag AR to make it into a AW.

Why do people talk to cops and or listen to any legal advice from them?
There’s a reason he shouldn't be a cop ...
Ask 5 different cops the same question when it comes to ANY law and you will get 6 different answers. (huh)
Took a class up at Sig Academy a few years back. One of the instructors was Everett PD at the time. He told me I was absolutely insane for carrying a pre-ban mag in Mass and that 10 rounds should be enough. I was disappointed that Sig employed the guy.
I’m going to jail today cuz BerettaEveryone in this thread goin to jail!!! Cuz Glock..
This can't be overemphasized. Even if it's a 100% clean shoot, you stand a chance of ending up in jail and broke, especially in MA. If you shoot, you have to be so sure you have to, that you can walk out of jail many years later still thinking you did the right thing.Although for anyone using a gun in self-defense in MA I expect a world of hurt either way.
