Continuous possession question.

[brobar]

This may have already been asked (didn't see it though). Will the continuous possession piece of the mag ban affect those of us who fly with our firearms? When we go to the airport, declare our unloaded firearm and then hand our baggage (with the firearm and magazine(s) in it) over to the TSA agent in that little room where they scan it and check it before sending us on our merry little way... does that count as NON-continuous possession? And if so... does that mean we can no longer fly with our firearms???

I don't think anyone knows. The Governor stated that there would be something forthcoming as the law is written to help clarify the "possession", and the "readily converted" parts of the law...

So something that isn;t even known has been made into law? What a crock of shit, how can anyone vote on this, flip a coin ala Hudak??? I guess that's the new mormal for legislators. "Give it your best shot"

They intentionally made it vague so they can interpret it however they want and then that interpretation can evolve to whatever they want it to be in the future.

No, the new normal for Democrat legislators is to claim whatever you think the voters will believe before new elections, claim they didn't read it well enough when errors are pointed out after passage and then distort it to do whatever they want when the dust clears.

Really, you're over ANALizing the whole deal. It is "interpreted" to mean not selling, trading or handing off, at least for now. Unless you walk around with them attached to your person, you are never in " continuous possession"

Words mean what i say they mean

They are vague on purpose, dont you know you have to pass the law in order to find out what's in it

And we know how well that one is going.

I don't see how that is over ANALizing at all. I'm "handing off" my magazine(s) [in my luggage] to TSA agents at an airport... both to and from my destination. I guess you think the law is pretty cut and dry and there is an "implied" but surefire exemption for traveling with firearms through an airport? I didn't think it was OBVIOUSly cut and dry at all but maybe I'm missing something.

that is what it means for now. that is how everyone interpreted it. (I'm afraid I agree with Jim this time)

The trouble with it, which you hit on, is the literal definition can be used to confiscate them at any time. It is just the same as the Readily converted part. Meaning now is "Don't own an extension if you have a post ban mag." Meaning in the future is any mag with removale a floorplate is verboten.

It'll be sadly amusing if the day comes when we clamor for them to enforce existing laws and they decide to enforce this one to the letter.
