I have a question about the magazine part of the law.
On one part it says you can't have a 10 round magazine after a year...but on another it says that if you are caught with 8 bullets in the magazine it is a misdemeanor. So if someone has a 10 round magazine, but only loads it with 7 bullets, is that legal or illegal? It seems to be contradictory.
"Section 38 of the bill amends Penal Law � 265.00(23) to ban all largecapacity magazines that have the capacity to hold more than ten roundsof ammunition including those that were grandfathered in under theoriginal assault weapons ban and creates a new ban on magazines thathold more than seven rounds of ammunition. Magazines that can holdmore than seven rounds but not more than ten rounds and are currentlypossessed will be grandfathered in, but may only contain seven roundsof ammunition. Exceptions are made for large capacity magazines thatare curios or relics."
Basically if you have a mag that holds ten rounds you can keep it, you just can't have more than 7 bullets in it.
