For Sale - The State of Connecticut has deemed my Ruger 10-22, 25 shot magazine to be an evil instrument of terror which is henceforth illegal. Failure to comply with this over the top, anti-second amendment liberal law will make me a felon effective 1/1/14.
So - I have to either destroy it, sell it out of state, surrender it to police, or register it with the State and pay a fee (screw that).
Someone must have a Ruger 10-22 that can use this…
$20 and shipping is on me.
PM me if interested.
OK…some confusion here. I am selling the 25 round magazine - NOT THE GUN.
Yep, possession of this little accessory next year would make me a FELON.
I hate Connecticut.
It was the comma after the 10-22.
Sorry to hear. If ever decide to move, consider Texas:
[ul]
[li]Our Governor solicited gun manufacturers to move their operations to Texas. Apparently Colt Competition is actually moving.[/li][li]Guns and gun accessories that are illegal in other states are considered “cute” in Texas.[/li][li]Texas had the highest number of background checks for gun purchases last year (over 1 million. Number does not include people with CHLs).[/li][li]Texas has pretty good Concealed Handgun License laws (you can even conceal carry in the state capitol if you have a CHL)[/li][li]There is no state income tax and state sales tax is 6.25% (up to 2% more depending on municipality taxes) - important if you want to buy more guns/accessories.[/li][/ul]
Since Cabelas up the street from me has brand new Ruger 25 round mags for $24.99. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Ruger174-BX-258482-Magazine/1229746.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct.jsp%3FproductId%3D1545614&categoryIds=104792580|104717880|104815080|&WTz_l=RI%3BIK-231451 I could offer to trade you something of equal value from my big assortment of outboard motro parts that I no longer need.

SOLD.
Looks like I’m not going to be a Connecticut felon after all.
hmmm…wonder if you are convicted of a felony in one state for something legal in another state, would the second state still consider you a felon?

If you are a convicted murderer in one state, are you a felon in another? It’s the same thing, most homicides are per state law. Most felonies are under state law. So yes, a person convicted of a felony on in one state is a felon in another. The Constityution has something to say about things in one state being valid in another also.

Apples and Oranges my friend. Homicide is universally illegal so yes, in that case I can see carrying felony convictions where ever you go.
Possession of an unregistered magazine is only illegal in a few states.
That said, I’m sure you are correct that a felony conviction in one state, regardless of offense, transfers to all other states.
I should just move to Texas and avoid all this nonsense.
Jet,
The issue isn’t what law you broke, it’s that you broke a law serious to be a felony. Just like when a law gets repealed they don’t automatically release everyone in jail for breaking it when it was on the books.

It doesn’t matter what other states classify the conduct as. A felony conviction under one state’s laws is considered a felony conviction in every other state. It’s part of the “full faith and credit” clause of the Constitution. Go talk to a lawyer if you disagree and/or it’s important to you. Or Google the magic words contained in this post.
If I was on a ship at sea, and it was Sunday and I didn’t go to church, but then we crossed the international Date line and it was Saturday again would that still be a sin Father

I agreed with your interpretation of the law, I’m only disappointed with the general concept that an overzealous State legislature can pass a silly law which if convicted of, can mar your record no matter where life takes you.
For me personally, I will grudgingly comply with the law.
