[C.308]

The firearms laws are enforced by the rcmp.

Have fun telling them its an opinion when you get charged lol

They would have to prove their opinion to be correct in court. Aside from a demonstration on how to build and operate a time machine that may be hard to do. The law says they're legal. They were designed for a 10/22 which was conceived decades before the charger pistol.

Just like glock mags at 10rds are legal to use in a pistol caliber rifle. And 10 rd AR pistol mags are legal for use in a rifle and AIA 10 rd mags can be used in an M14. How can a magazine be designed for a firearm that was invented decades later? It would never stand and that's probably why no charges have been reported afaik. I'd happily donate as much as I could for a "go fund me" to help with the legal fees.

Remember how they just got burned for posting on their site that 858s and swiss arms rifles needed to be registered despite the fact c71 has not passed into law. They are enforcers not lawmakers.

The rcmp has made 10/22 high capacity mags prohibited

The RCMP does not have the authority to make anything prohibited or not

Owning prohibited devices without the proper license is illegal

Prohibited devices are defined by the criminal code, not the RCMP. Which the RCMP does not have the authority to change.

Does that break it down enough for you?

There are no illegal 10/22 mags the law has not changed.

If you choose to go above and beyond the law that is up to you. But that does not make it law. Please stop telling people it is law. This is how we end up with BS like all gun have to always be trigger locked etc etc. People claiming things are law that are not.

The RCMP site is not, never has been, and never will be the law.

Exactly. First case to go to court will end this BS. Butler creek mag predates charger by decades.

It’s why I’m a CCFR member with legal insurance. It’s hard for charges to stick when there is no actual law on the books to break.
Where in the Firearms Act, or criminal code does it actually state that the mags (besides the BX25 ones) are prohibited.

Thing is, with that type of insurance, you don't get to decide how far to take the case, they do. If they decide to settle along the way (for example, if the Crown offered to stay the charges in exchange for a prohibition, no record, or some such nonsense), you don't have a choice. At least with professional liability insurance it's that way, and I would think gun insurance would be similar.

What caused the issue was the advertising and packaging. They included the Charger pistol in the packaging print for the magazines.

BX-25 packaging makes no mention of Charger.

IMHO, the Charger does not meet the definition of a pistol, in that it is clearly not designed to be operated one-handed. Guys have bipods on them!

The original packaging did state that it fit in the Charger pistol... regardless, they plugged the loophole in their thinking... the problem is that their thinking is all wrong.

Go ahead and post the link to the law that says what the packaging of an item says determines its legal status. Bottom line they are legal, everyone just claims they are not to rationalize their unwillingness to fight it. There is a reason that this has never seen court and never will. Because it is not law, the reason the RCMP gets away with this type of thing is we let them

How about the restricted s&w 22 cal AR's. They are not really 22 cal Ar's, but manufacturer babble made them so?

From what I remember it was a Larry Flynt mag, had a good pictorial section called Naughty Neighbour lol. I friend of mine in high school always bought them.

Nope

The RCMP deemed them variants. Has nothing to do with marketing BS
