Okay, I have to correct you on something you've been passing on to your viewers, Reno, and that I've heard some attorneys (incorrectly) advise. It is *NOT* illegal to take your standard cap mag out of state with you and return with it. That is not defined as "importing", even by the State of CA. The definition of "import" is to bring into the State from a point of origin outside the State. If you purchased an item within CA, then CA is its place of origin when you took possession of it, and taking it back and forth with you across state lines is simply possessing your property during your travels. Otherwise, if we take these attorneys' poor advise at face value, then every single time you drive your vehicle back into CA when visiting another state, that is the same action and would be subject to CA's Usage Tax, and you'll have to pay sales tax on your vehicle's value every time. Is a person re-importing the money in their pocket, the wedding ring on their finger, their phone, their other property, etc every time they go on vacation to Las Vegas? No. And the same goes for standard cap mags.

I used to own legit freedom week mags but I moved out of state. Now they are just regular mags.

"If I stand on one leg, pat my head and rub my belly, this rifle is legal. If I look sideways on a Tuesday and cough, it is now illegal."

This is what 50 years of “one sided politics” gets you in The State of California.

$1,000 says that 90% of those standard capacity magazines confiscated by law enforcement or not destroyed but stolen and it signed off on paperwork as destroyed.

It's amazing to me that cops still think they're doing the country a favor when they make arrests on laws like this.. a felony for putting 30 round magazine in a fixed magazine gun... That's one hair away in absurdity for making it punishible by death for making fun of the king.

I hate California's gun laws so much it's unreal. Keep up the fight.

dude this is actually so smart, that way when a criminal is using the gun, they can only load ten rounds OR ELSE... that ought to deter them for sure!

They are now regulating plastic boxes that contain a metal spring, this is where we are at.

I rlly hate that California is still trying to fight this

Funny how we’re expected to know the rules and regulations, but cops (respectfully) are not, and they are the ones that are supposed to call us on it, “law enforcement”. That doesn’t work.

Shoutout from a fellow SR resident! I always appreciate how up to date and informative your videos are. Hopefully, some of these ridiculous laws get thrown out as soon as possible and we won't have to worry about them, but like you said before, I won't hold my breath on it.

Victimless Malum Prohibitum laws are repugnant to Constitutional Law when applied to private individuals.

I moved to a free state, and now I'm one of those people who say: just move out of Cali

You forgot option 4: bring a drill and a rivet gun. In NV, drill out rivet(s). Before driving back, re-rivet. Done and done.

I was falsely arrested for freedom week mags, then I got paid.

I only put 10 gallons in my 25 gallon fuel tank.

Thanks for the education Reno !!! The government forces laws on the law abiding citizen in the name of stopping crime but it hasn't worked because those laws do not punish "criminals" to such a degree that criminals fear the laws and punishments.

Thank you for keeping us updated

Authoritarian governments love vague, and overcomplicated laws.

Jeez... Freedom Week was almost 4 years ago? WTF, it really does not feel like it. Damn time flies.

Thank you very much. I live in California and understanding these laws have been extremely confusing. From calling gun manufacturers, to gun stores, the local police department- I have yet to find solid answers. You clarified so much of this nonsense.

Reno, I want to commend you for making this video you pointed out many things that people are scared to talk about it. I have experienced most of the nuances you’ve described similarly to you . Again thanks

California’s terms for these are “Large capacity” and “Non-large capacity” magazines. The terms “Standard” and “High capacity” are never used. Goes to show how the state makes up its own words to make up its own rules.

Putting legally acquired standard capacity mags into featured rifles being illegal was news to me. Thanks for this video Reno!

I live in Petaluma and thank you for teaching us about the messed up web of CA gun laws!!!

Thanks for the information Reno. Unfortunately I don’t own any freedom mags so I’m stuck with the 10 rounds until this law changes. I do have to admit I got excited this last year thinking it was going to happen I know I know don’t hold your breath, yea very disappointing that we’re still in limbo. 😳 trying to stay positive here.😎👍

Is great to see the younger generations keeping tyranny in check. Thanks, Reno, for being on the front lines.

you're doing your fellow Californian holdouts a favor by condensing all of this ridiculousness for all of us to find in one form of content. your efforts are appreciated, thank you!

LIFE-PRO TIP - PMAGS have manufacture date stamps, BUT there are still tons of new ones for sale that have date stamps pre-freedom week - Mar 29 to April 5, 2019…Also, Dremel tools exist. 🇺🇸🦅

You can make a career out of shoplifting in California, cops don't bat an eye... But don't you dare load 11 rounds into a 30 round magazine! Its okay if criminals do it, though. That charge will likely get dropped so they can get a slap on the wrist.

When the government utilizes the exact same tools they are trying so hard to regulate to conduct their authority..there is a problem here.

Reno, I really admire your humility and your self-effacement. Without doubt you are a good man. Thank you for all that you do for the honest and legal gun owners of California. 👍

"Im just a guy with a very large forehead and this isn't legal advice" needs to be on a shirt asap!

Thanks for keeping us informed

Thank you for that clarification. You are a wealth of knowledge and information.

This state has really turned into a joke.

The worst of it is that the laws change so damn often. You can be fully aware of the laws when you buy a firearm and then a year later, there’s some new shit you have to worry about.

RENO I had a Range Officer CALL THE POLICE on me for a HEX MAG mag thats pinned to ten but looks like a 20 rounder. I won't name the range but the cops show up and I LITERALLY ask the RO to load the mag to which he refused to do. So i as the officer to check the mag. Once it checked out good to go the officer pulled the guy to the side and READ HIM THE RIOT ACT. AWESOME VIDEO BROSKI keep em coming!

Thank you for the update and valuable information.

Thank you for posting these videos. This stuff is so confusing, and for those of us that want to stay out of jail, it's like a legal minefield. You're doing a great job explaining these things in plain English. I also appreciate that you tend to avoid click-bait titles (unlike most other guntubers). Between your videos and email updates from CRPA, I feel pretty well informed about what's going on. Appreciate it.

Legally owned is just allowed by the king in different words. Fuck being a lawful gun owner

Our IA said it’s ok to CCW Freedom Week mags. A friend who’s a cop in SF said they were told CCW carriers were exempt from their 10 rd ordinance. I CCW standard mags . With the hold ups all over the Bay Area with drum mags and full auto Glocks with illegal sears wielded by criminals , I am doing what it takes to survive .

Great video and great channel. Unfortunately Washington is now actually worse than california in most 2A aspects. But this is a great place to keep updated since its all the same court.

Good discussion on mags. San Bernardino County Sheriff recommends not using legally possessed standard capacity mags in your carry gun.

I should have noted if you carry a gun on your ccw and are breaking policy of your IA you are essentially carrying without a permit. So be mindful of the risk. Live your life tho

As a Californian with three homes I wind up in a variety of areas, from SoCal to NorCal. With a CCW issued by a county within California, along with a Utah and Florida CCW, I that I like to remain concealed and carrying as I go to Reno, which is fairly close to one of my homes. I also work as a Range Safety Officer near my SoCal home. I’m also a retired senior military officer. When I go in every two years for my CCW update, I, like many of us, ask my instructors for the latest updates to the carry laws. Two bring aways are don’t even think about using a magazine in any of my 3 carry weapons and don’t register a once known as SSE single shot exemption pistol as one of my CCWs. As an old guy, I have magazines dating back decades. Some exceed the arbitrary 10 round limit, and many are artificially limited to 10. The advice that I have received is no not even tempt LEOs with carrying the larger mags. Being all over California, I have learned from my instructors, which I pass on to customers, is to be sensitive to the differing enforcement standards in the different counties. For example, don’t consider using your, freedom week mags down in the LA area. Don’t even use them at your ranges. Just be ultra conservative. When I drive to Nevada, I take along a larger mag. I have no fear of returning to California with any larger mags. I don’t understand why I would be targeted by LE. And neither will you. Don’t be paranoid.

Born and raised in CA, and I’m glad there’s still guys like you fighting in this state, with all the challenges you made to the state, to slow down and sometimes even stop the state’s authoritarian unconstitutional gun grabbing.

Such a great informative video yet again good Sir. I know all this stuff myself but I will be forwarding this to all my friends that don’t know and I will save this for reference and future educational needs for others. It’s just very well explained and thorough. Once again I’m thankful that you care to fight for our rights and keep us up to speed without clickbait. And glad you take all the precautions so they don’t shoot that adorable dog

Good information- For this and many, many other reasons is why I left CA 10 years ago and never looked back. Its amazing to think how much time the CA politicians have to come up with all of these anti-second amendment rules. SIMPLY-A-FRICK-AMAZING-

Thank you so much for the video this clears a lot up!!!

IANAL but it has been bandied about on the interwebz that prosecuting the law as it currently stands is limited by a 3-year statute of limitations. That of course does not stop Law Enforcement from keeping it for themse... err... "siezing it as a nuisance" and "losing it in the evidence locker." I only leave the house with my tenners. The only other exception not mentioned (and it's totally cool to skip for brevity) is rimfire caliber bolt-action rifles with fixed tube magazines that can hold 10+ rounds of, say, .22LR, or more of .22L, or a silly number of .22 short (if you can even find that anywhere these days!). Keep up the good work, sir!

Hey bro, I’m from Stanislaus county and our sheriff is pretty cool. But I gotta admit I’ve been staying up to date with your content. As a ccw holder it is strange to be law abiding but criminal at the same time. Thanks for the updates tho. I really appreciate it and I push your info

Thank you Reno for doing these videos, they’re very informative and also break down the law to easily to understand them.

I live in the Southeast & Im still checking laws pretty often. Would be on my p’s & Q’s BIGTIME over there .take care.

Great video, very important info. Your AR on the left what part are you using to separate the lower from the upper to make it California complaint? I really like the way it opened up so quick and would love to get that for mine.

Very informative, thank you Reno for taking the time and passing valuable information to the public.

I know it must seem pretty bad right now, but it's going to get a lot worse.

You can pin a magazine or internally block a magazine on your way back into CA. You have to epoxy the floor plate if you internally block it. You can find all the stuff at a home improvement place with really cheap material. There is a bunch of stuff you can use to internally block, a home depot paint stir stick is what i use since they are cheap and have a ruler on it to make sure its the right size.

Very informative. Thanks for all you do

Reno, has it been argued to the 9th Circuit that there is History proving that the thousands of "High Capacity" magazines purchased during Freedom Week and brought into California did not cause ANY type of increase in crimes or mass shootings using these so called "Assault Weapons"?? Like they say will happen if "High Capacity" magazines become legal.

I wonder how much a California Sheriff costs?

We had 90 minutes of freedom in WA before an AG appointed official put a stay on an injunction that was against the AGs office. The judge did an awesome job writing the injunction, he cited Bruen and Heller and common use and addresses that magazines are protected arms and the AG and WA spit in his face.

Once again, very informative. Thank you.

"This will not get your dog shot" as your dog is slowly inching his way closer to you XD. Such a precious little creature

There's only one option to ignore California gun laws.

Special 4th option. Meet a friend in NV who can have the standard capacity mags, borrow them while in NV, and return them before going back to CA. So option 2 without the cost.

Okay that's odd I know I've heard about people getting unsubscribed before but I'm pretty sure I was subscribed to your channel but I just had to resubscribe for some reason

Not breaking the law until caught by someone who disagrees.

Fun fact. Idaho had a natural gas disaster due to a excavator hitting a trunk line . P&g sent a ton of service dudes here for like 2 weeks. I had a great time hanging out in local stores and helping them find all the fun stuff we have here lol.

On visiting Nevada, would it be possible to dismantle the magazine and only carry back the legal parts? Then, mail the offending parts back to yourself, separating the parts by type. Afterwards, you can reassemble the parts claiming you already own those parts and are simply restoring the separate pieces to workability. No law states if the magazine has been disassembled, that it cannot be reassembled back to working order. At no time was a functioning magazine imported into California.

As always, great content!

Living in CA is a legal crapshoot, I had no idea or possibly forgot that I was committing a felony with my freedom week mags.

Thanks from a fellow Kalifornian for what you doing. Like many of "US" I own some larger capacity mags for various handguns that I own. All were acquired before the "ban" but I do understand the complexities of this subject. As a PSA, an unwarranted stop of a Cali plate on I-80 is not unheard of. I live near the border and occasionally drive down the hill to shoot near Reno in the winter months. I always take my lower capacity mags when I do this. I've never had one of these stops myself but it's just not worth the risk. A further PSA would be a caution about returning to Kali with a purchase made at a Reno gun shop or Gun Show. They have been known to "observe" Kali plates at the bordering gun shops or gun shows and make stops.

Thank you for your videos. I don't think I agree on the import scenario. I'm not a lawyer but the definition of import is: "Bring (goods or services) into a country from abroad for sale" and the emphasis is on "sale". If I owned the large capacity magazine, legally, before I left to Nevada, I'm not importing it back when I return to California. Like I'm not importing my car or any other thing I owned before I left.

Keep us posted. Thank you.

It's not a high-capacity mag; it's a stander that comes with the gun.

*in actual reality a 10+ magazine will be a fine or misdemeanor charge in CA. An assault weapons charge will also just be a misdemeanor. Carry without a CCW is always a misdemeanor also. On the books mags and AW charges **_may_** be charged as felonies, but we all know that after Prop 47 felonies are basically abolished in California. Bottom line: punishment for standard mags, AWs, and no CCW is essentially irrelevant/non-existent. I am not advocating breaking the law, simply saying that in real world cases anyone violating these laws will get a fine and a suspended sentence (if that). "Jail time" is California's Kryptonite*

How would handle an interaction with LASD if you had your CCW weapon and standard sized mags or literally what you carry.

Saw that 'leave California joke' coming from a mile away too. Never, ever gets old and golly gee, I hope they never, ever stop.

Keep the videos coming, Reno!

Thank you for the video. We need more like this

Curious where you got the labels for your magazines. Been looking for stickers or bands to put on my magazines but are standard size.

My Freedom Week Mag's never leave my humble Abode.

thanks for this Video Reno and all you do brother you are very much appreciated

@RenoMay With a current CCW And traveling out of Calif with loaded firearm and mags, when returning to Calif with same ammo, it's there a concern of transporting ammo back into Calif? Thanks.

Glad to see videos back

Over my dead body. I will never comply to any of these unjust laws

At that point it does go bad for 2A owners, the US Supreme Court has to step in and say enough is enough No more Infringements

I know the joke but I sure hope you don't leave California. Love having you here fighting for our rights! Thank you.

I don't know if this is legal or not but it's worth asking. If you have magazines that are 30 rounders blocked to only accept 10 rounds, couldn't you take them to another state, unblock them to 30 for shooting and then block them back to 10 again when you come back to cali?

So thankful patriots like you, Reno, are standing your ground and fighting the good fight. The joke is on California as long as you stay. 👊👏🇺🇸

Do not comply

Hi Reno, love your channel. I know this is off topic but I would like to ask you as you seem to be the best person to get some advise regarding California compliancy. I have the Juggernaut Featureless grip and some say it is not legal but the company states it is compliant. What's your take?

I’m glad you are making content again

How many "freedom week" magazines were actually purchased during freedom week? 😬 ALL of them!

Thank you for fighting for our rights

Algo comment, thanks for being the community firearms lawyer Reno

Which fixed setup do you think is the best and if possible reversible?

Nothing says "commonsense gun safety" more than living in constant fear that you're breaking the law when you're trying to be a law-abiding good boy for the state :D
