Damn right it's not just about you. Quit being so selfish and think of the children. We could all be killed!
Normal capacity magazines are extremely dangerous, unless in the hands of policemen or other government employees.
Not a big deal, but yes, you might as well put the little rivet in them.

Take the mags to the police???
Destroying them???
Why would a mentally stable individual consider doing either of those two things?

Because everyone knows the first 10 shots always miss, and only the 11th can be dangerous

still illegal,do not pass go,go directly to jail
contacted the dealer again today and he stated that he will trade me for pinned 10/17 round mags at my expense for shipping both ways!!!! not even worth it!, iam located in B.C. and he is in Quebec! he is very firm on this and there is a slight language barrier! so it is what it is! good deal on the glock so ill eat the cost on the rivit gun and we'll leave it at that! mags are currently disassembled
cause i dont want no future headaches i just thought maybe you could have the hi caps just as long as they were not loaded but i guess not!!!!! i apprecaite all the feedback!!!!
thanks everyone!

He wants YOU to pay for shipping? Uh no.
He's the asshat who's breaking the law, and by extension causing YOU to break the law by selling you a prohibited device. Did you not explain that to him?
Screw him - post his name and maybe someone who speaks French can explain it to him before the SQ is on his arse shutting down his store.
Buy a rivet gun - all real men should have one anyway!

x2, I would not conceal the name of his company based upon the fact that he knowingly sold you an unpinned 17 round mag...he is hurting the rest of the community in the end and the more people cover for dealers the worse it looks on us
You would be doing him a favour by destroying hi cap mags or sending them back to him and accepting to receive LEGAL capacity magazines.
All shipping done at his cost.
Out of principle, if he does not see it that way, I would contact RCMP, CFO and anyone else who might assist in taking this crook out of business and into government provided lodgings.
Matter of fact, if you do NOT do it, you are complicit in his illegal activities, as you have just purchased, received and kept illegal items.
Getting them was not your fault, but accepting it and not taking the action to correct this IS your responsibility.
I want you to understand that this post is not meant to scare you or attack you, but prod you into doing what is right.

I don't quite understand what the panic is all about. It takes a few minutes of google to find out how to pin it, a trip to crappy tire and 5 minutes each magazine to pin.
I have bought magazines where the seller asked me if I wanted them pinned or not. Sure, pin them I said, but this is not enough for me to make a big deal out of it, personally to him or on this forum.
I am sure there are many unpinned mags floating around, many people importing mags unpinned, some know, some not, some import them, pin them and sell them for a profit, some don't bother.
It is your responsibility to be within the law, not that I think I would go to jail for that but because I respect the law and don't want to face the consequences if not (like having my firearms confiscated).

Why even mention the police?
This is a paper crime, no different than possessing a gun without a license, which currently hundreds of thousands of Canadians are doing.
If you want to be legal than pin the mags. If you don't, than I guess you just joined a growing club of brave Canadians who are resisting government stupidity.

The big difference is that theft, murder, etc. hurts other people, but having NORMAL capacity mags hurts absolutely nobody.
That being said, get them pinned.

Actually I just recently bought a semi auto from a very reputable dealer and found both mags needed to be blocked.
I was surprised to say the least.
Just goes to show that even the good guys can't keep on top of this.
We don't have lots of firearms sellers here in QC... PM me his name and I can give him a call.. in French

True Erik, but politicians need to realize that criminals don't buy their magazines neutered or otherwise from the stores, they get them from the black market at normal capacity with their illegal guns. So once again, the law does nothing but harass the law-abiding firearms owner and impact not at all on the criminal.
Report him, do NOT pass go.
Yes you must let us know who this is as more and more of us buy our firearms online. Just think how bad you would feel if someone on here bought a gun from this guy and then got pinched for his screw up on the mags, and then lost everything they have.
Well he should panic a bit, since it will be his arse in the slammer, and all his guns getting scratched and abused because of the dealers gross misconduct.
UNACCEPTABLE. Are you a member of the CSSA or NFA? Call them and have someone from their office call on your behalf, I am sure his tune will change tout sweet. If not, call the RCMP, too bad so sad.
Yes SB, and if you do, and he is still an idiot, then please let us know who he is.
