High Capacity Magazines: Get them before July 1

[Ridgeratt]

I was asking about a person who was moving here from another state.
Johnny has to move here to take care of family.

I dont think you are required to declare them if you move here.

Anyone know where I can pick up a bx-25 magazine or 2 by Shelton/Olympia area? Places already won’t ship here

Cabelas had a ton of them last Friday.

I dont think you are required to declare them if you move here.

Here is what the bill says, looks like you can't bring them in except for a few cases for police/military or if you are selling them through an FFL to someone outside the state.  I didn't see any grandfathering for magazines not in state on July 1 or for people moving in.

No person in this state may manufacture, import, distribute, sell, or offer for sale any large capacity magazine, except as
authorized in this section.

Here is the definition of import:

"Import" means to move, transport, or receive an item from a
12 place outside the territorial limits of the state of Washington to a
13 place inside the territorial limits of the state of Washington.
14 "Import" does not mean situations where an individual possesses a
15 large capacity magazine when departing from, and returning to,
16 Washington state, so long as the individual is returning to
17 Washington in possession of the same large capacity magazine the
18 individual transported out of state.

It seems the goal is to make it pretty tight, only grandfather stuff here on July 1.  What also isn't covered are people from other states that travel to WA, seems like they were left out too.

That may be the undoing of this new law. Let's hope so.

It will be interesting to see if SCOTUS takes up the CA petition, I think there might be one from NJ already in consideration?

Ordered mine from GunMag Warehouse. Quick shipping and giving preference to Washington State orders for ontime delivery.

I'm on the fence, with grizz expanding their range I might be getting a 10mm sometime in the future.  I would probably go with compact and be limited to 10 anyway but might go full size.  I don't really want to spend $50-75 on some ornaments for my safe but it might be a good idea.

I bought a half dozen Glock 20 mags at $20 each from an FFL friend a few months back even though I don’t own the Glock 20 yet for just this reason.
