Okay, I have to correct you on something you've been passing on to your viewers, Reno, and that I've heard some attorneys (incorrectly) advise. It is *NOT* illegal to take your standard cap mag out of state with you and return with it. That is not defined as "importing", even by the State of CA. The definition of "import" is to bring into the State from a point of origin outside the State. If you purchased an item within CA, then CA is its place of origin when you took possession of it, and taking it back and forth with you across state lines is simply possessing your property during your travels. Otherwise, if we take these attorneys' poor advise at face value, then every single time you drive your vehicle back into CA when visiting another state, that is the same action and would be subject to CA's Usage Tax, and you'll have to pay sales tax on your vehicle's value every time. Is a person re-importing the money in their pocket, the wedding ring on their finger, their phone, their other property, etc every time they go on vacation to Las Vegas? No. And the same goes for standard cap mags.
Pinning this. And while it very well may be true here’s the big thing to still think about. It’s been talked about a handful of times online that people driving from Nevada have been stopped on the ca border and cops have found mags. Even if you legally own them it’s still possible that cops can potentially put you in jail temporarily and you could lose your rights for a time. I just today got an email from a man who owned mags legally but the cops took them all and charged him with 19 felonies. He eventually got let out after a few days and after suing got his rights and his property back. But it took over 9months of being disarmed and treated like a criminal
@@RenoMay Understood, and point well taken. But please bear in mind (as I'm sure you do...I've been following you for years here) that the issue of legality and the issue of LE ignorance are two different matters. My point is to simply clarify the legality as per CA P.C. I work closely with LEOs/LEAs who understand the law and largely disagree with the mag ban, but who have advised me to be cautious as well due to widespread ignorance among the LE community. After all, there are so many laws on the books here in CA - and the status of 2A related ones change so often - that it's becoming increasingly harder for LEOs to properly enforce. To parrot your oft-mentioned line, "I am not an attorney, and this is not legal advice. Do what your own knowledge and conscience demand that you do."
$1,000 says that 90% of those standard capacity magazines confiscated by law enforcement or not destroyed but stolen and it signed off on paperwork as destroyed.
Possible, but I imagine that there's exceptions in the laws for LEOs and just like how they can buy off roster handguns straight from a gun store, they can probably legally buy "high capacity" and have no need to steal evidence.
Well sadly most of those laws don’t apply to law enforcement. They legally can go out and buy or be given 30 round mags for service ARs no problem at all.

Shoutout from a fellow SR resident! I always appreciate how up to date and informative your videos are. Hopefully, some of these ridiculous laws get thrown out as soon as possible and we won't have to worry about them, but like you said before, I won't hold my breath on it.
After serving a few years behind bars go ahead and make this argument on appeal... only to have it denied in the 9th and then passed over by the SC. Relying on the courts is an awful idea: instead, get out in front of it by addressing pub op and the legislatures. The facts of the origin, purpose, evolution and history of gc in this country is plenty of grist for the mill. There is no comeback for the gatgrablers when you point out their hypocrisy and drive it home with the fact the fastest growing demographic of 2A owners over the last few years. Check it out, I have done legwork and applied it to great effect.
We had 90 minutes of freedom in WA before an AG appointed official put a stay on an injunction that was against the AGs office. The judge did an awesome job writing the injunction, he cited Bruen and Heller and common use and addresses that magazines are protected arms and the AG and WA spit in his face.
Funny how we’re expected to know the rules and regulations, but cops (respectfully) are not, and they are the ones that are supposed to call us on it, “law enforcement”. That doesn’t work.
They should be deferring to either a supervisor or their on call DA representative when they don’t know the legality of something or how to charge someone. The worst is a know it all cop who can’t be bothered to look anything up. An ex DA once told me they throw out tons of cases because of sloppy police work in general.
Don't respect cops who enforce this. Or. Rather, respect them as you would an armed gang that is ruling over your neighborhood to extract revenue. Because that's what they are and what they're doing
As A NV resident I had cleaned out all of my "high capacity magazines" before passing through CA. Fortunately for me as an assault Donkey almost killed my car at 69 MPH in Northern CA the Cops would have likely arrived to see "high capacity magazines" strewn all over the highway.!
Hate all you want, the weakness of relying on the courts is clear. Get out in front of this thing with a new line of argument: Constitution this and Bill of Rights that doesn't make a dent. They don't even blink because they ===do not care=== Instead, do some looking into the origin, purpose, evolution and history of gc and you have a very effective line of reasoning. I've done legwork in this area and I encourage the same. The gatgrabblers crumble when you start making accusations of racecars and big ol' trees (sp for the platform). I do it all the time and they slink away.
Thank you very much. I live in California and understanding these laws have been extremely confusing. From calling gun manufacturers, to gun stores, the local police department- I have yet to find solid answers. You clarified so much of this nonsense.
California’s terms for these are “Large capacity” and “Non-large capacity” magazines. The terms “Standard” and “High capacity” are never used. Goes to show how the state makes up its own words to make up its own rules.
And how did they decide what the number of rounds would be to constitute a "large" capacity magazine? Why >10 rounds? Why not >15 rounds? How about >20 rounds? Are there transcripts available of those Calif State Legislature sessions?
@@Eddievoneddie13 how do they determine the rounds a magazine holds? For example, I have some AR magazines which hold over 100 rounds of .22LR. Same exact magazine holds 30 rounds of .223. It holds 8 rounds of 450 Bushmaster. It holds 2 rounds of 338 Win Mag, and 0 rounds of 50bmg. I don't know how many rounds of other cartridges it holds, but anything bigger than 50bmg is out for sure... so no 16" shells for sure. So is my magazine a 100, 30, 8, 2, or 0 round mag?
Thanks for the education Reno !!! The government forces laws on the law abiding citizen in the name of stopping crime but it hasn't worked because those laws do not punish "criminals" to such a degree that criminals fear the laws and punishments.
get gas while you can, Its next in California to being made illegal to possess and use. They want electric vehicles that operate off coal fired/oil fired/nuclear plants that the state can turn the car and or the chargers off at will. and then there are the highly polluting batteries and subsequent disposal issues.
Born and raised in CA, and I’m glad there’s still guys like you fighting in this state, with all the challenges you made to the state, to slow down and sometimes even stop the state’s authoritarian unconstitutional gun grabbing.
I've seen a speedloader for those fixed-mag ARs. You clip it into the ejection port, dump some rounds into it, then use a pushing tool to shove them down into the mag. No need to take the gun apart to swap mags. Probably it'll be illegal when they catch up with it. It's a 3D-print, which will make it hard to stop.
4:47 I believe LA county was the first to do this. They had officers with 20 round mags and they had reported that it "alarmed" citizens. So if I'm correct, LE can't even carry them.
I used to live in Commiefornia, then I decided I would rather die than live on my knees. So I moved to a free state, Missouri. Yes I now freeze and am a long away from the beach, at least I don't have to live in fear of the criminals and communist politicians.
Reno, I really admire your humility and your self-effacement. Without doubt you are a good man. Thank you for all that you do for the honest and legal gun owners of California. 👍
Special 4th option. Meet a friend in NV who can have the standard capacity mags, borrow them while in NV, and return them before going back to CA. So option 2 without the cost.
i have to updated my bong to use my new bowl, let me plug in my gun so i can aim, wait i need to get my scopes Bluetooth to work, 2000 me would have a stroke
Specifics count for laws concerning firearms. Jail or not is a serious reason to understand laws. It should be against the law to have ill fitting,loose gun terminology. If the law is 10 rounds good, 11 or more bad , call the magazines out by number of projectiles. This is a legal 10 round . This is an illegal 11 plus. Now , confusion and vagueness can put well meaning people in jail. Just call it a 10 round or…..11plus.
If they can be altered to accept more than 10 you can be in trouble. Rivets can be punched, welds can be cut, the only way to abide is to have a cartridge that can only accept 10. In NY they are challenging the fixed mag sheer pins because they can be drilled out as per manufacturer instructions meaning not permanently fixed.
you're doing your fellow Californian holdouts a favor by condensing all of this ridiculousness for all of us to find in one form of content. your efforts are appreciated, thank you!
I don't believe you can "import" something you already own and transported out of the state. "Import" has a specific legal definition, regardless of what the state would like it to mean. If California's interpretation of the term "import" was accurate, you'd have to pay a tariff on your car every time you crossed into the USA from Canada or Mexico.
In my latest San Bernardino renewal class the instructor was asked about them and he kinda hesitated then said "Don't do it. I know they're legal but just don't do it." Not sure what kind of advice that is......
I know. 6 years ago they told us not to have Red dot sights. But in that same class a few months ago they praised them and said everybody should have a red dot.... I think at the time the department wasn't allowing them for their officers so they didn't want us to have them either. It leaves a huge feeling of uncertainty about what's even "legal" these days when the one's enforcing it can't agree.@@otroflores91
Thank you for posting these videos. This stuff is so confusing, and for those of us that want to stay out of jail, it's like a legal minefield. You're doing a great job explaining these things in plain English. I also appreciate that you tend to avoid click-bait titles (unlike most other guntubers). Between your videos and email updates from CRPA, I feel pretty well informed about what's going on. Appreciate it.
Thank you for your videos. I don't think I agree on the import scenario. I'm not a lawyer but the definition of import is: "Bring (goods or services) into a country from abroad for sale" and the emphasis is on "sale". If I owned the large capacity magazine, legally, before I left to Nevada, I'm not importing it back when I return to California. Like I'm not importing my car or any other thing I owned before I left.
On visiting Nevada, would it be possible to dismantle the magazine and only carry back the legal parts? Then, mail the offending parts back to yourself, separating the parts by type. Afterwards, you can reassemble the parts claiming you already own those parts and are simply restoring the separate pieces to workability. No law states if the magazine has been disassembled, that it cannot be reassembled back to working order. At no time was a functioning magazine imported into California.
The worst of it is that the laws change so damn often. You can be fully aware of the laws when you buy a firearm and then a year later, there’s some new shit you have to worry about.
hey man fellow CA gun owner here. from my understanding "import" doesn't simply mean "bring in" in the eyes of the legal, "importing" is specifically a term that applies to business, as in, it's is imported within the framework of retail/wholesale. I'm willing to be incorrect here but, all these terms are defined within the legal code, not within the casual day-to-day language.
Good information- For this and many, many other reasons is why I left CA 10 years ago and never looked back. Its amazing to think how much time the CA politicians have to come up with all of these anti-second amendment rules. SIMPLY-A-FRICK-AMAZING-
In my county (Kings) the police and sheriff already said that they will not go after you if you have large capacity mags. [my thought is; until the ruling to up hold judge Benitez’s ruling os finalized, why would you take a chance of getting arrested till this is finished?]
A few months ago, I drove from the Houston area to Las Vegas... As a Texan, *of course* I'm carrying and in fact, I'm actually *open carrying* because I was going to be in my vehicle the entire time except for a few minutes every 250-300 miles when I needed to refuel and Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona had legal open carry... Unfortunately, I was following the directions of Google Maps and for whatever reason, it had changed my route from what I had originally planned and as I got close to Las Vegas, I saw a sign that told me that I was entering PROK (People's Republic of Kalifornia), followed soon thereafter with going through one of the road blocks for "agricultural inspection"... I hastily grabbed a towel and tossed it over the center console area so that it would cover my handgun... Of course, the handgun that I was carrying had more than 10 rounds in it and I knew that PROK would not accept my out-of-state CHL... On my way back from Las Vegas though, I made sure that Google didn't route me through PROK...
Hey bro, I’m from Stanislaus county and our sheriff is pretty cool. But I gotta admit I’ve been staying up to date with your content. As a ccw holder it is strange to be law abiding but criminal at the same time. Thanks for the updates tho. I really appreciate it and I push your info
I saw a sale the other day 10 X PMAG gen 2 30 round magazines for $8 each and free shipping. $80 shipped plus tax (if applicable) for 10 x 30 round mags. Good mags. The non capacity limited states are living high on the hog.
I should have noted if you carry a gun on your ccw and are breaking policy of your IA you are essentially carrying without a permit. So be mindful of the risk. Live your life tho
I assume if the IA has such magazine restrictions they’d be printed on the permit? We’re in the same county and the only restriction on mine is consuming alcohol or drugs.
Talking with LE when I am behind enemy lines temporarily to work, some agencies have a policy not to charge banned mag possession because the issue is not decided. But not all and they are not trustworthy.
We over here in the Heartland don't view Commiefornia as a state. It's a foreign country as far as we're concerned. Same with Washington and Oregon. We call it the Commie Coast
Reno, has it been argued to the 9th Circuit that there is History proving that the thousands of "High Capacity" magazines purchased during Freedom Week and brought into California did not cause ANY type of increase in crimes or mass shootings using these so called "Assault Weapons"?? Like they say will happen if "High Capacity" magazines become legal.
You can buy 10 round duramag 458 socom mags and change the followers to get a 28 round magazine. If you change to a slightly smaller spring you can make it hold 30
If you're talking about "off-roster handgun," here's how you do it legally: 1. Order an off-roster handgun to your local gun store 2. Have them convert it to single-action only 3. Buy and pick up the gun 4. Convert it back to semi-auto (or SA/DA for revolvers)
More than 6 figures. None of our 58 county Sheriffs make less than that. Maybe their deputies do, but the top cop in the county is making six figures easy.
Reno, I want to commend you for making this video you pointed out many things that people are scared to talk about it. I have experienced most of the nuances you’ve described similarly to you . Again thanks
So if you have a featureless rifle you can insert a 30 round magazine into it? But I don’t think you can buy them in California?🤷♂️ Please let me know. Thanks
*in actual reality a 10+ magazine will be a fine or misdemeanor charge in CA. An assault weapons charge will also just be a misdemeanor. Carry without a CCW is always a misdemeanor also. On the books mags and AW charges **_may_** be charged as felonies, but we all know that after Prop 47 felonies are basically abolished in California. Bottom line: punishment for standard mags, AWs, and no CCW is essentially irrelevant/non-existent. I am not advocating breaking the law, simply saying that in real world cases anyone violating these laws will get a fine and a suspended sentence (if that). "Jail time" is California's Kryptonite*

In over 20 years of AR and standard 30 round ownership, not once has anyone asked about them. Every AR I own is illegal in the eyes on Cali. Never had an issue...
@RenoMay With a current CCW And traveling out of Calif with loaded firearm and mags, when returning to Calif with same ammo, it's there a concern of transporting ammo back into Calif? Thanks.
Well hold on you did say you would be perfectly fine if you want to know that with a 10-round magazine? And then bought a hike up or whatever at a store in nevada? Now what happens if on your way to the store to get a standard capacity magazine in Nevada you run into some criminals who don't follow the rules and they have drum magazines and all you have is a 10-round? I don't know if you would be considered perfectly fine under that scenario? Lol
Hey Reno, I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I love that you’re using the platform to help the common man.

You are not as safe as you might think. "Freedom Week" "Freedom Day", etc are false representations of reality when describing injunctions or stays of injunctions. Yes, you can possess(or do whatever the prohibit conduct is) during the time that the injunciton is in place without enforcement being taken against you DURING that time. BUT when the injunction or stay of injunction is no longer in effect, you CAN be prosecuted for unlawful conduct during the so-called "Freedom Time" (time that the injunction was active). Wait! WHAT?! Yes, an injunction does not change(or void) the law at all, it merely "prohibits enforcement actions" during a certain period.
So you say, you can legally put your legally purchased "freedom week" 11+ round mags in your featureless AR-15. Does that go for anyone that owns a featureless AR?
By California's import logic, every time you drive out of California and drive back in you have imported your car. Or if you have an off-roster gun you've imported an off-roster gun. There's no way that could stand SCOTUS scrutiny.
and a service member driving around with their military issued equipment gets pulled over will get arrested for it. i tried to go on base and the gate guards threatened me for having usmc equipment
You literally saying -" please government save us from the government ". Scotus aint on your side my man. The bruen decision was trash... and meant to he crumbs to make you feel like you won something... every now and then they feed you a meaningless crumb to keep you occupied

After serving a few years behind bars go ahead and make this argument on appeal... only to have it denied in the 9th and then passed over by the SC. Relying on the courts is an awful idea: instead, get out in front of it by addressing pub op and the legislatures. The facts of the origin, purpose, evolution and history of gc in this country is plenty of grist for the mill. There is no comeback for the gatgrablers when you point out their hypocrisy and drive it home with the fact the fastest growing demographic of 2A owners over the last few years. Check it out, I have done legwork and applied it to great effect.
We had 90 minutes of freedom in WA before an AG appointed official put a stay on an injunction that was against the AGs office. The judge did an awesome job writing the injunction, he cited Bruen and Heller and common use and addresses that magazines are protected arms and the AG and WA spit in his face.
Funny how we’re expected to know the rules and regulations, but cops (respectfully) are not, and they are the ones that are supposed to call us on it, “law enforcement”. That doesn’t work.
They should be deferring to either a supervisor or their on call DA representative when they don’t know the legality of something or how to charge someone.
The worst is a know it all cop who can’t be bothered to look anything up.
An ex DA once told me they throw out tons of cases because of sloppy police work in general.
Don't respect cops who enforce this. Or. Rather, respect them as you would an armed gang that is ruling over your neighborhood to extract revenue. Because that's what they are and what they're doing
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse...unless you are a cop.
I agree, it's bullshit.
@@protoman1214 Not being able to know the law off the top of your head is a sign of too many laws.
It's not that they don't know it's that they just don't care.
As A NV resident I had cleaned out all of my "high capacity magazines" before passing through CA.
Fortunately for me as an assault Donkey almost killed my car at 69 MPH in Northern CA the Cops would have likely arrived to see "high capacity magazines" strewn all over the highway.!
I rlly hate that California is still trying to fight this
California really hates you, and us, and any citizen that tries to pretend they are not a slave.
@@johnholmes6868 true
It’s because they hate you.
Hate all you want, the weakness of relying on the courts is clear. Get out in front of this thing with a new line of argument: Constitution this and Bill of Rights that doesn't make a dent. They don't even blink because they ===do not care=== Instead, do some looking into the origin, purpose, evolution and history of gc and you have a very effective line of reasoning. I've done legwork in this area and I encourage the same. The gatgrabblers crumble when you start making accusations of racecars and big ol' trees (sp for the platform). I do it all the time and they slink away.
@@Devin7Elevenwait I thought Hk hated us?
Thank you very much. I live in California and understanding these laws have been extremely confusing. From calling gun manufacturers, to gun stores, the local police department- I have yet to find solid answers. You clarified so much of this nonsense.
California’s terms for these are “Large capacity” and “Non-large capacity” magazines. The terms “Standard” and “High capacity” are never used. Goes to show how the state makes up its own words to make up its own rules.
And how did they decide what the number of rounds would be to constitute a "large" capacity magazine? Why >10 rounds? Why not >15 rounds? How about >20 rounds? Are there transcripts available of those Calif State Legislature sessions?
Thats pretty much what anyone who wants to ban something does
Because to count beyond ten, they would have to take their shoes off!
@@Eddievoneddie13 how do they determine the rounds a magazine holds? For example, I have some AR magazines which hold over 100 rounds of .22LR. Same exact magazine holds 30 rounds of .223. It holds 8 rounds of 450 Bushmaster. It holds 2 rounds of 338 Win Mag, and 0 rounds of 50bmg. I don't know how many rounds of other cartridges it holds, but anything bigger than 50bmg is out for sure... so no 16" shells for sure. So is my magazine a 100, 30, 8, 2, or 0 round mag?
Thanks for the education Reno !!! The government forces laws on the law abiding citizen in the name of stopping crime but it hasn't worked because those laws do not punish "criminals" to such a degree that criminals fear the laws and punishments.
I only put 10 gallons in my 25 gallon fuel tank.
With gas being $6/gal I dont blame you.
get gas while you can, Its next in California to being made illegal to possess and use. They want electric vehicles that operate off coal fired/oil fired/nuclear plants that the state can turn the car and or the chargers off at will. and then there are the highly polluting batteries and subsequent disposal issues.
CA Approved, less carbon emission. BUT DONT YOU DARE DO 11 GALLONS!
Don't give Commifornia more ideas 🤣
Born and raised in CA, and I’m glad there’s still guys like you fighting in this state, with all the challenges you made to the state, to slow down and sometimes even stop the state’s authoritarian unconstitutional gun grabbing.
dude this is actually so smart, that way when a criminal is using the gun, they can only load ten rounds OR ELSE... that ought to deter them for sure!
I've seen a speedloader for those fixed-mag ARs. You clip it into the ejection port, dump some rounds into it, then use a pushing tool to shove them down into the mag. No need to take the gun apart to swap mags. Probably it'll be illegal when they catch up with it. It's a 3D-print, which will make it hard to stop.
4:47 I believe LA county was the first to do this. They had officers with 20 round mags and they had reported that it "alarmed" citizens. So if I'm correct, LE can't even carry them.
It’s an individual agency policy. Bad optics caused that
Jeez... Freedom Week was almost 4 years ago? WTF, it really does not feel like it. Damn time flies.
"Freedom Week" "Freedom Day", etc are false representations of reality.
Oh yeah it feels like every damn day of 4yrs and then some. It will NEVER flippin end!
I used to live in Commiefornia, then I decided I would rather die than live on my knees. So I moved to a free state, Missouri. Yes I now freeze and am a long away from the beach, at least I don't have to live in fear of the criminals and communist politicians.
Putting legally acquired standard capacity mags into featured rifles being illegal was news to me. Thanks for this video Reno!
The more you know.
Gotta read the laws. It's BS you can use them in a featureless but not a maglocked.
I found that out maybe a year after freedom week. Ended up switching over to featureless 😑. Our laws don’t make any sense.
@@tmango78 went featureless when this crap started.. Felt featureless was better than fixed. Both suck..
What about registered assault weapons? Can we use our 60 round drums we bought during freedom week?
I live in Petaluma and thank you for teaching us about the messed up web of CA gun laws!!!
Reno,
I really admire your humility and your self-effacement. Without doubt you are a good man. Thank you for all that you do for the honest and legal gun owners of California. 👍
Special 4th option. Meet a friend in NV who can have the standard capacity mags, borrow them while in NV, and return them before going back to CA. So option 2 without the cost.
Authoritarian governments love vague, and overcomplicated laws.
how is this legal? they cannot infringe our rights like this, who voted on this?
...because if it comes to a legal interpretation for an arrest or in court, guess how the ruling will go.
The most hilarious part about this law is that the state actually takes it seriously
They are now regulating plastic boxes that contain a metal spring, this is where we are at.
i have to updated my bong to use my new bowl, let me plug in my gun so i can aim, wait i need to get my scopes Bluetooth to work, 2000 me would have a stroke
CA outlawed "billy clubs" and it was overturned but still they outlawed sticks.
Specifics count for laws concerning firearms. Jail or not is a serious reason to understand laws. It should be against the law to have ill fitting,loose gun terminology. If the law is 10 rounds good, 11 or more bad , call the magazines out by number of projectiles. This is a legal 10 round . This is an illegal 11 plus. Now , confusion and vagueness can put well meaning people in jail. Just call it a 10 round or…..11plus.
Is great to see the younger generations keeping tyranny in check. Thanks, Reno, for being on the front lines.
Cause God knows, the older generations didn't do a damned thing
Because WE DIDN’T have to….at least when I was young.
If they can be altered to accept more than 10 you can be in trouble. Rivets can be punched, welds can be cut, the only way to abide is to have a cartridge that can only accept 10. In NY they are challenging the fixed mag sheer pins because they can be drilled out as per manufacturer instructions meaning not permanently fixed.
You forgot option 4: bring a drill and a rivet gun. In NV, drill out rivet(s). Before driving back, re-rivet. Done and done.
That’s so much work lol

How would handle an interaction with LASD if you had your CCW weapon and standard sized mags or literally what you carry.

I don't believe you can "import" something you already own and transported out of the state. "Import" has a specific legal definition, regardless of what the state would like it to mean. If California's interpretation of the term "import" was accurate, you'd have to pay a tariff on your car every time you crossed into the USA from Canada or Mexico.
Good discussion on mags. San Bernardino County Sheriff recommends not using legally possessed standard capacity mags in your carry gun.
In my latest San Bernardino renewal class the instructor was asked about them and he kinda hesitated then said "Don't do it. I know they're legal but just don't do it." Not sure what kind of advice that is......
@@itsjohnrice terrible advice. Sounds like the department has mixed feelings about enforcing it.
I know. 6 years ago they told us not to have Red dot sights. But in that same class a few months ago they praised them and said everybody should have a red dot.... I think at the time the department wasn't allowing them for their officers so they didn't want us to have them either. It leaves a huge feeling of uncertainty about what's even "legal" these days when the one's enforcing it can't agree.@@otroflores91
I live in the Southeast & Im still checking laws pretty often. Would be on my p’s & Q’s BIGTIME over there .take care.
Thank you for posting these videos. This stuff is so confusing, and for those of us that want to stay out of jail, it's like a legal minefield. You're doing a great job explaining these things in plain English. I also appreciate that you tend to avoid click-bait titles (unlike most other guntubers). Between your videos and email updates from CRPA, I feel pretty well informed about what's going on. Appreciate it.
Thank you for your videos. I don't think I agree on the import scenario. I'm not a lawyer but the definition of import is: "Bring (goods or services) into a country from abroad for sale" and the emphasis is on "sale". If I owned the large capacity magazine, legally, before I left to Nevada, I'm not importing it back when I return to California. Like I'm not importing my car or any other thing I owned before I left.
I was falsely arrested for freedom week mags, then I got paid.
Would love to hear more if you wanna email me
Renomaymedia@gmail.com
@@RenoMay I'm also local to you, in the same county.
We need story time!
Speak up. Too late to shut up.
Tell the full story.
On visiting Nevada, would it be possible to dismantle the magazine and only carry back the legal parts? Then, mail the offending parts back to yourself, separating the parts by type. Afterwards, you can reassemble the parts claiming you already own those parts and are simply restoring the separate pieces to workability. No law states if the magazine has been disassembled, that it cannot be reassembled back to working order. At no time was a functioning magazine imported into California.
The worst of it is that the laws change so damn often. You can be fully aware of the laws when you buy a firearm and then a year later, there’s some new shit you have to worry about.
hey man fellow CA gun owner here. from my understanding "import" doesn't simply mean "bring in" in the eyes of the legal, "importing" is specifically a term that applies to business, as in, it's is imported within the framework of retail/wholesale. I'm willing to be incorrect here but, all these terms are defined within the legal code, not within the casual day-to-day language.
Good information- For this and many, many other reasons is why I left CA 10 years ago and never looked back. Its amazing to think how much time the CA politicians have to come up with all of these anti-second amendment rules. SIMPLY-A-FRICK-AMAZING-
In my county (Kings) the police and sheriff already said that they will not go after you if you have large capacity mags. [my thought is; until the ruling to up hold judge Benitez’s ruling os finalized, why would you take a chance of getting arrested till this is finished?]
"Im just a guy with a very large forehead and this isn't legal advice" needs to be on a shirt asap!
A few months ago, I drove from the Houston area to Las Vegas... As a Texan, *of course* I'm carrying and in fact, I'm actually *open carrying* because I was going to be in my vehicle the entire time except for a few minutes every 250-300 miles when I needed to refuel and Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona had legal open carry... Unfortunately, I was following the directions of Google Maps and for whatever reason, it had changed my route from what I had originally planned and as I got close to Las Vegas, I saw a sign that told me that I was entering PROK (People's Republic of Kalifornia), followed soon thereafter with going through one of the road blocks for "agricultural inspection"... I hastily grabbed a towel and tossed it over the center console area so that it would cover my handgun... Of course, the handgun that I was carrying had more than 10 rounds in it and I knew that PROK would not accept my out-of-state CHL... On my way back from Las Vegas though, I made sure that Google didn't route me through PROK...
Hey bro, I’m from Stanislaus county and our sheriff is pretty cool. But I gotta admit I’ve been staying up to date with your content. As a ccw holder it is strange to be law abiding but criminal at the same time. Thanks for the updates tho. I really appreciate it and I push your info
Good to see another from ScandalClause County here! Yeah our Sherrif's cool,too bad our Governor's a cunt tho.
That’s what they want, for us to become criminals and not be able to buy them at all anymore
Hey Jeff I’m also from stanislaus county, as a current ccw holder do we get the pass to carry magazines larger than 10 rounds ?
I saw a sale the other day 10 X PMAG gen 2 30 round magazines for $8 each and free shipping. $80 shipped plus tax (if applicable) for 10 x 30 round mags. Good mags. The non capacity limited states are living high on the hog.
I should have noted if you carry a gun on your ccw and are breaking policy of your IA you are essentially carrying without a permit. So be mindful of the risk.
Live your life tho
I assume if the IA has such magazine restrictions they’d be printed on the permit? We’re in the same county and the only restriction on mine is consuming alcohol or drugs.
Sonoma does not have mag capacity restrictions as of when I renewed. But do your own research
Talking with LE when I am behind enemy lines temporarily to work, some agencies have a policy not to charge banned mag possession because the issue is not decided. But not all and they are not trustworthy.
This state has really turned into a joke.
We over here in the Heartland don't view Commiefornia as a state. It's a foreign country as far as we're concerned. Same with Washington and Oregon. We call it the Commie Coast

@@that1electrician As California goes, so does the rest of the country. Just something to think about before giving up here.
I literally tell my clients the and thing about leaving and coming back with magazines. I also mention that it applies to ammo.
Reno, has it been argued to the 9th Circuit that there is History proving that the thousands of "High Capacity" magazines purchased during Freedom Week and brought into California did not cause ANY type of increase in crimes or mass shootings using these so called "Assault Weapons"?? Like they say will happen if "High Capacity" magazines become legal.
You can buy 10 round duramag 458 socom mags and change the followers to get a 28 round magazine. If you change to a slightly smaller spring you can make it hold 30
I wonder how much a California Sheriff costs?
Just a few hidden videos of them at those weirdo Los Angeles parties with very young girls. Sounds like a bargain.
If you're talking about "off-roster handgun," here's how you do it legally:
1. Order an off-roster handgun to your local gun store
2. Have them convert it to single-action only
3. Buy and pick up the gun
4. Convert it back to semi-auto (or SA/DA for revolvers)
More than 6 figures. None of our 58 county Sheriffs make less than that. Maybe their deputies do, but the top cop in the county is making six figures easy.
Reno, I want to commend you for making this video you pointed out many things that people are scared to talk about it. I have experienced most of the nuances you’ve described similarly to you . Again thanks
So if you have a featureless rifle you can insert a 30 round magazine into it?
But I don’t think you can buy them in California?🤷♂️
Please let me know. Thanks
*in actual reality a 10+ magazine will be a fine or misdemeanor charge in CA. An assault weapons charge will also just be a misdemeanor. Carry without a CCW is always a misdemeanor also. On the books mags and AW charges **_may_** be charged as felonies, but we all know that after Prop 47 felonies are basically abolished in California. Bottom line: punishment for standard mags, AWs, and no CCW is essentially irrelevant/non-existent. I am not advocating breaking the law, simply saying that in real world cases anyone violating these laws will get a fine and a suspended sentence (if that). "Jail time" is California's Kryptonite*
Carrying without a ccw isn’t ALWAYS a misdemeanor
Also I’ve got several instances of people being charged with felonies.
So how would the freedom week mags apply for home protection only in California?
Legally owned is just allowed by the king in different words. Fuck being a lawful gun owner
Rah 💪
Soon california will only be allowed to own single shot
.22 caliber bolt action rifles , with a featureless fin. For home defense
I know it must seem pretty bad right now, but it's going to get a lot worse.
It is also legal to take +10 round mags out of CA and pruor to returning to CA, permanently block them to 10 round or less mags.
There's only one option to ignore California gun laws.
*And not get caught

I know you’re not a lawyer and all but I was wondering if you can couple together two 10 round magazines end to end and be legal?
Thank you Reno for doing these videos, they’re very informative and also break down the law to easily to understand them.
I had regular magz on my truck but at the time my excuse was I'm in the guard so they were issued to me, I live in the great state of Texas now, so I don't have to worry about that, but I did put the same stickers on some of my magz
Very informative, thank you Reno for taking the time and passing valuable information to the public.
In over 20 years of AR and standard 30 round ownership, not once has anyone asked about them. Every AR I own is illegal in the eyes on Cali. Never had an issue...
Living in CA is a legal crapshoot, I had no idea or possibly forgot that I was committing a felony with my freedom week mags.

Saw that 'leave California joke' coming from a mile away too. Never, ever gets old and golly gee, I hope they never, ever stop.
@RenoMay With a current CCW And traveling out of Calif with loaded firearm and mags, when returning to Calif with same ammo, it's there a concern of transporting ammo back into Calif? Thanks.

You are not as safe as you might think.
"Freedom Week" "Freedom Day", etc are false representations of reality when describing injunctions or stays of injunctions.
Yes, you can possess(or do whatever the prohibit conduct is) during the time that the injunciton is in place without enforcement being taken against you DURING that time.
BUT when the injunction or stay of injunction is no longer in effect, you CAN be prosecuted for unlawful conduct during the so-called "Freedom Time" (time that the injunction was active).
Wait! WHAT?!
Yes, an injunction does not change(or void) the law at all, it merely "prohibits enforcement actions" during a certain period.
So you say, you can legally put your legally purchased "freedom week" 11+ round mags in your featureless AR-15. Does that go for anyone that owns a featureless AR?
Keep the videos coming, Reno!
Can you just remove the spring on the hcm before entering California, so it's just parts of a magazine?
By California's import logic, every time you drive out of California and drive back in you have imported your car. Or if you have an off-roster gun you've imported an off-roster gun. There's no way that could stand SCOTUS scrutiny.
Don't count on that,but you can count on the court being ignored if they rule in your favor.
You underestimate the stupidity of this country to pass laws designed to make life hard for you because they hate you
