So You Wanna Bring the Big Guns (Metaphorically) to New York, Eh? (Maybe Not)
Ever wondered if you can channel your inner John Wick and have those sweet, sweet 30-round magazines magically transported to the Big Apple? Well, hold your horses (or unicorns, if that's your thing) because things get a tad bit tricky in the Empire State.
Can I Ship 30 Round Magazines To New York |
The Law Lays Down the Lowdown
New York has a firm handshake (read: strict law) on large capacity ammunition feeding devices (LCAFDs), which basically means magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Shipping or possessing one of these bad boys is a big no-no. They're like the uninvited guests at a party – not welcome.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
But hey, there's always a loophole (or maybe a really small door), right? Well, not exactly. Unless you're a collector of some seriously old-timey curios or relics (think muskets, not muskets for mosquitos), those 30-rounders are a no-go.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Exceptions? You Betcha (But Not Really)
Now, if you had these magazines before a certain date (way back in 2013, to be precise), there might be a sliver of hope. You could possess them, but there are some serious hoops to jump through, including a registration process that would make Kafka proud.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Look, unless you're a lawyer or a history buff with a thing for grandpa's dusty musket collection, it's probably best to steer clear of the 30-round magazines in New York.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
