I'm not 100% clear on all of these laws just yet but thought I would post a resource for you guys here to help educate yourselves. If I can help to answer any questions, by all means let me know. Offline and in person is fine too. The one thing I find as interesting, if you are in possession of one of those evil so called hi-capacity magazines it's considered an infraction. An infraction is not a crime and just imposes a civil penalty (fine). Let me digress, the first couple of offenses are a fine and confiscation of your standard capacity magazine. The fine will increase each time much like a traffic citation can. After I "believe" the third time it elevates to a misdemeanor which is a crime you could be cited for. The bad part about that is it can have an effect on future firearms purchases and background checks because it's now a firearms related crime upon conviction.
Pay some close attention to these new laws and educate yourselves as much as possible. Be smart and understand your rights. Politely not giving up your 4th and 5th amendment rights is always the smart way to go. Much of this is left up to the discretion of the officer but like anything with the newer youngsters coming out there it can be a toss up. What also makes me very nervous for the general populace is places like agricultural inspection stations. They can be cropped them up just about anywhere they wish with a few exceptions. I'm not 100% sure on how in depth their legal authority is as it relates to your 4th amendment rights but it's worrisome. They could conceivably begin to now be used to intercept ammunition purchased out of state even should you have the soon to be required background check. The other issue is Border Patrol checkpoints much like Checkpoint Charlie (Cold war pun) up there off the 15 or the 5. That now involves a whole other issue and legal means to get inside your vehicle. They have very specific things they are looking for but if something out of their normal prevue piques their attention, they can easily detain you and summon local/state officials. If a State Fish and Game Warden is present it gets even worse as far as 4th amendment searches and seizures. That's why I encourage you guys to brush up on your rights and laws. I write this information because I care about everyone here and want them to be informed. As I get more, I'll try and pass it along to you.
