45. Not that I think it'll pass, but no real skin off my nose

Fri Jan 4, 2013, 06:57 PM

Jan 2013

My precision rifle has available up to 30 round magazines; I do own several standard-size 20 round ones (.308 is larger so the "normal" mag size is smaller) but I never fire more than 5 rounds in a string, and have several 5 round mags for hunting. When I carry, I have a 1911 that takes 8 rounds. A limit of 10 wouldn't interfere with any of my shooting activities in any way. It's a compromise I'm willing to make, along with others...but I do worry that passing this might embolden control advocates to try for measures I wouldn't support.
