Frequently Asked Questions

What is "freedom week" in California regarding firearm magazines?

"Freedom week" in California refers to a specific period from July 1, 2019, to July 5, 2019, when the sale and possession of standard-capacity magazines (over 10 rounds) were temporarily legal due to a court injunction. Many magazines legally purchased during this time have since been subject to confiscation.

Can police legally confiscate magazines purchased during California's "freedom week"?

While magazines purchased during "freedom week" were legal at the time, California law enforcement may still confiscate them, often citing PC 302310A. Retrieving these items can be a complex legal process, and ignorance of the law is not a defense.

What are the risks of possessing standard capacity magazines in California?

Possessing standard capacity magazines in California carries risks, including confiscation by law enforcement who may be unaware of or disregard "freedom week" protections. This can lead to legal trouble, loss of property, and potential jail time if not handled correctly.

What advice is given regarding magazine possession in California?

The primary advice is to avoid using standard capacity magazines in California if there is any doubt about their legality or potential for confiscation. Alternatives include driving to another state, shooting on private property where legal, or joining a private shooting club.
