California: Los Angeles Mayor Signs Large-Capacity
Magazine Ban Ordinance
Thursday, August 13, 2015
NRA-ILA
Appears in Legal & Legislation
On Friday, August 7, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signed Council
File 13-0068 into law, which will take effect on September 19, 2015.
This means that residents of Los Angeles who legally possess
magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition must sell those
magazines, remove them from the city, or turn them over to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) by November 20, 2015. All California residents,
except for a special few, will be precluded from entering the City of Los
Angeles with such magazines. In addition to being a flawed policy that inhibits
one’s inherent right to self-defense, this is extremely problematic because it
is almost impossible to go any significant distance in Southern California
without passing through the City of
Los Angeles.
What Is Considered a “Large Capacity Magazine”
Los Angeles’ definition of a “large-capacity magazine” is
identical to that found in California Penal Code section 16740.
This includes any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept
more than 10 rounds. There are three notable exceptions:
1) Any feeding device that has been permanently
altered so that it cannot hold more than 10 rounds;
2) Any .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device; and
3) Any tubular magazine that is contained in a
lever-action firearm.
This definition is applicable whether the magazine is
assembled or disassembled. There are also several uses and categories of
individuals that are exempt from the magazine ban. Those exemptions can be
viewed here
(page 6).
You may store your magazines outside of Los Angeles. Be
aware, however, that storing your magazines with friends or family outside of
Los Angeles may qualify as an “unlawful transfer” under state law.
Help Stop These Measures from Passing in Other
Jurisdictions
With Los Angeles taking this misguided step, it is becoming
even more likely that other California cities will follow suit.
