I guess the proper question is are handguns that carry more than 7 being grandfathered in or is it going to be illegal for all permit holders to carry and have a mag with more than 7 rounds or round capacity? If the latter is true that is even more ridiculous.</div></div>
From another site:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">After the bill was signed, New Yorkers were no longer allowed to purchase a magazine with a capacity of more than seven rounds. New York’s previous capacity limit was 10 rounds, though magazines manufactured before 1994 were not subject to the ban.
That changed on Tuesday. Those who own pre-1994 magazines that hold more than 10 rounds now have one year to either sell them out of state or surrender them to authorities.
Magazines purchased before Tuesday that can hold eight, nine or 10 bullets remain legal, but they become illegal if more than seven rounds are loaded in them at any one time.
The penalties for possessing an outlawed magazine vary. If someone possesses a pre-1994 high-capacity magazine after one year, they could be hit with a misdemeanor.
For a grandfathered-in magazine, the penalty for loading it with more than seven rounds in the owner’s home is a $200 fine for a first violation and a misdemeanor for a second violation. If it’s outside of the owner’s home, the penalty is a misdemeanor.</div></div>
So basically, you can still own an old magazine with a 10 round capacity, you just can't load up 10 rounds... how the evidence will work for that, I don't know.
You can still own the gun that takes a larger magazine. Just not the magazine itself. But good luck using a Glock 17. I don't think they will be manufacturing a mag for that weapon that only holds 7 rounds any time soon.
It is really a backdoor prohibition on handguns designed after 1935. I mean not even the Browning Hi-power features magazine capacity of 7 rounds or less.
So back to my original post, you are basically stuck with a 1911. Even the M&P 45c has an 8 round mag. The HK-45c also has an 8 round mag. You could buy these with pre-ban mags and load them to 7, I guess. Obviously, they chose 7 rounds to illegalize the vast majority of handguns on the market. </div></div>
That is just absolutely unreal, and how quick that got passed is scary. I live in CT and we are following the same path, at least it is a much slower process here. I saw elsewhere hear that there is a petition to impeach Cuomo for this, I don't know if that is too political for this site, but to just sit back and let our 2nd ammendment rights get stomped all over is not something I am willing to do. And if CT does follow the same route I am getting the hell out of the state quick, they aren't going to get my hard earned tax dollars.
