45Badger Posted August 18, 2019 at 11:18 AM Share Posted August 18, 2019 at 11:18 AM Need a quick rundown on any laws relating to sale of 30 AR15 round mags. If a Chicago resident wants to buy 30 round AR15 mags and have them shipped to their home (Chicago) address, do you guys know if there are any laws prohibiting this and is the seller liable or responsible for compliance with said silly law if it exists? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock23 Posted August 18, 2019 at 01:52 PM Share Posted August 18, 2019 at 01:52 PM There are mag limits (local ordinances) in Chicago and Cook County, but no state laws. I see no legal reason a non-local seller would have to comply with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedBystander Posted August 19, 2019 at 12:56 AM Share Posted August 19, 2019 at 12:56 AM I think post 2 pretty much covered it. There are local Chicago and Cook Co laws banning sales and possession but nothing state wide so not sure what they could do to the seller even though a lot of vendors refuse to ship to Chicago. If you should choose face to face I would do it outside of Cook Co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwfan3 Posted August 19, 2019 at 03:17 AM Share Posted August 19, 2019 at 03:17 AM I have yet to find an out of state vendor that will ship rifle mags over 10 rounds to Cook County. Some of them will ship pistol mags over 10 rounds and some will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagSlap Posted August 19, 2019 at 06:57 PM Share Posted August 19, 2019 at 06:57 PM I have yet to find an out of state vendor that will ship rifle mags over 10 rounds to Cook County. Some of them will ship pistol mags over 10 rounds and some will not. The key word for the vendor is the word 'ship'...Yet..nothing prevents a vendor from selling a magazine to 'anybody' if that sale takes place at a brick 'n mortar outside chicago/Crook County... Yet....something also interesting...I was just at Cabela's in Hoffman Estates this weekend..its in Cook County... Funny thing, It seems to not be an issue because they have always had...and continue to have 30 round PMAGS on the shelf and will to sell them to anybody. So...if you can't get a 30 round mag shipped to you..its nothing a few mile drive can't solve...(Of course I'm only postulating here...I'm not in anyway interpeting the dictates of the lawmakers of IL and Cook county for public consumption... I couldnt possibly do such a thing!!! My IQ is over 74) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domin8 Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:48 PM Share Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:48 PM Yet, because Optics Planet is located in Cook County they won't stock or sell AR mags that hold more than 10 rounds, even to residents of other states.

45Badger Posted August 20, 2019 at 01:53 AM Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 at 01:53 AM So far, I see retail policies. Any direct knowledge or links to the code stating that it’s a misdemeanor, felony, etc for John Doe in xyz state or county to sell/ship a 30 round mag to John Smith in Chicago?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Here's a link to the Cook County Muncipal Code entry for the Blair Holt Assault Weapons Ban. https://library.municode.com/il/cook_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIGEOR_CH54LIPEMIBURE_ARTIIIDEWEDE_DIV4BLHOASWEBA I'm not sure how Cook County could enforce that law against the seller if the seller is located out of the county or state.

Same as above post re enforcement. Rumor from past was that AG had sent threatenening letter to retailers but no one was able to produce. Nothing in regard to individuals. For that matter, as also mentioned, a trip to the suburbs and they can be purchased at a store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearsmithy Posted August 22, 2019 at 04:56 PM Share Posted August 22, 2019 at 04:56 PM What if I have an AR pistol? wouldn't that be covered under state preemption for handguns? (I realize the question as to whether or not the mag is considered a part of the gun itself hasn't been legally settled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
