It's Still OK to Use the LAR-15 10 Round Mag, Isn't It?

Yup, if anyone does get charged with anything to do with the LAR magazines, I hope they post it here. Then we ALL need to go to the police station and insist on being charged with the same thing. So that we can all share in the huge class action suit that will certainly follow (and if it doesn't, there really won't be any more need to belong to the NFA or CSSA).

Man that's an idea. Everyone show up at the same detachment all at once and explicitly state it's for a class action. :eek:
 
In Canada, it's (1) LAW , (2) Order and (3) Good Government

Let's not get paranoid, if I read the law and it sounds legal and the RCMP reads the law and rules that it's legal then I feel that 100% legally covered and can confidently use my LAR-15 magazines in my rifle.

The law might change but in the meantime, I'm sure that only lose the magazines in the worst of case and there is no way that I'll end up in court over this.

In Canada, it's Law , Order and Good Government.
We got Law all the time, Order most of the time and Good Government sometimes ;)

According to the vendor the magazines are "prohibited" in that you cannot use a 10 round magazine in a rifle.

I should have asked him about the CX4.

I'm not familiar with the above could you explain it?

You cannot be held responsible for anything the Government or an agent of the government tells you to do. So a letter on a RCMP letter head telling you it's oky doky pretty much gives you a hall pass.

Which is why it is so hard to get a beauracrat to put anything in writeing.

You are not allowed to have a 10 round rifle magazine. But you are allowed to have a 10 round pistol magazine.


You are free to use your 5 round rifle magazine in your pistol and your 10 round pistol magazine in your rifle.
 
how the ef does a dealer not know the laws? what kind of tuna heads are working in these stores that specialize in firearms yet dont know what theyre talking about.

Reminds me of what I overheard at the counter next to me at Lordco yesterday. I knew the customer was correct, the stupid condescending remarks from the counter guy made me wanna smack him in the mouth. The customer pulled out his card ... 22 years shop manager for Finning. The counter idiot kept talking, digging his idiot hole deeper and deeper.
Or last week when a different counter man asked another what Hydroboost means, the other senior counterman gave him the wrong answer too. I just stood there in disbelief. How do these nimrods get hired on without knowing squat about their jobs?
Are people just getting plain stupid as fu*k?
 
Just because you have a letter with the RCMP's logo on it doesn't necessarily mean doodly-squat

Actually it does. Its called 'officially induced error'.

In R. v. Cancoil Thermal Corporation and Parkinson, the defence of officially induced error was accepted as a defence.

The requirements are:

(1) The mistake is one of law, not of fact
(2) The accused considered the legal consequences of the action
(3) The accused can demonstrate that advice was received from an appropriate official (involved in the administration of the law in question).
(a) The official must be one that a reasonable person in the position of the accused would normally consider responsible for the advice about the particular law
(4) The advice was reasonable in the circumstances
(5) The advice was followed and was wrong.
 
Fair enough.
To play devil's advocate though...
You've shown one case where it swung in the defendant's favour, surely there are other cases where the verdic swung the other way despite evidence to suggest 'officially induced error'?

Hate to go a little off topic but if your not allowed a 10 rnd rifle mag are the 10 rnd aics mags for range use only?

The 5 round rule applies to magazines made for semi-auto centerfire.

The 10 round rule applies to pistols.

Center-fire bolt action rifles can have as many rounds as you please.

thanks
 
Uh, yeah, they are absolutely illegal. Now just pack all that you have up, send them to me, and I'll dispose of them legally for no charge.
