If, you owned a .22 LR with a 30 rd mag before the extended mag ban, and you lose the weapon in a tragic boating accident, but you didn't lose the mag.....
You buy another .22 weapon that accepts that mag, is it legal to use?

Yes, possession of the mag prior to the ban is the important issue.

I can legally posses high capacity mags from guns I didn't even own prior to the ban. As long as I possessed the mags prior to the ban.

I supose, If I were arrested, after hiring a lawyer and numerous other expences, The burden of proof would be on the DA to prove when the mag was purchased. :banghead:

Most certainly... the actual possession of high capacity mags isn't illegal. Its only illegal to manufacture, sell, give or import them into the state.
