There are a total of 71 LAR-15 pistols in 5.56s that are actually registered in Canada, but many Canadian arms dealers sell magazines designed for them – far more than one would think the limited market would support. A quick Google search easily reveals half a dozen online sources from Vancouver to St. John`s. Much of that includes gun dealers insuring potential customers and gun owners assuring each other that it`s actually legal. A retailer who sells the magazines issues an RCMP legal ruling, which can be downloaded as a .pdf, to assure potential customers that they will not be sent to federal prison for up to five years for possession of a prohibited device, but that they can order it in good conscience for $27.99 plus taxes and shipping. The magazine of this firearm may CC 84(4) Prohibited Devices, § 3, para. 1(a)(ii) of the Regulations requiring that certain firearms and other components of weapons and parts of weapons, accessories, magazines, ammunition and projectiles be prohibited or restricted. In the ambitious reform of Canada`s gun laws that followed the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre, semi-automatic rifles (with the exception of .22s) were limited to a magazine capacity of five rounds – or so it seemed at the time. The magazines are much larger – the military uses a 30-round rifle magazine, and in some parts of the United States they are commercially available. Because semi-automatic machines are limited to a loader capacity of five (5) turns in accordance with CC PART III, P. 84, Regulation PART 4 paragraph 3.
(1) (a) (ii) “The Former Cartridge Magazine Control Regulations”, this limits the capacity of the magazine to five (5) rounds, although the MVP model is designed as a bolt mechanism. In Canada, semi-automatic pistols are limited to a 10-round magazine. Third, unlicensed criminals illegally possess firearms and therefore ignore magazine capacity limits. Gun magazines can be manufactured by 3D printing or other simple production methods and are therefore impossible to keep out of the hands of determined criminals. LAR-15 magazines are pistol magazines designed for (10) rounds of .223 or 5.56x45mm. Normally, semi-automatic rifle magazines are limited to 5 rounds of ammunition, but since this magazine was developed for one pistol (the RRA LAR-15), it can hold 10 rounds. You can use these magazines in your STANAG compatible rifle such as your Norinco T97, AR15, Tavor, AR180B, Kel Tec SU16 or many others that have Magwell adapters that support standard STANAG magazines. “Magazines are not classified according to the firearms in which they are used, but according to the firearms for which they were designed,” Friedman says. “For example, if a magazine designed for a pistol fits inside a rifle, it`s not a problem to use it in that rifle, even if you now have a semi-automatic center-fire rifle with a capacity of ten rounds.” Many gun dealers also sell a wedge-shaped device (which Friedman calls “perfectly legal”) that connects two LAR-15 magazines from bottom to bottom.
If a shooter flips the magazines attached between cartridges 10 and 11 and releases the bolt, he can approach the capacity of a 20-round magazine – in a YouTube demonstration, a man using two LAR-15 magazines in an Israeli assault rifle fires 20 rounds in 16 seconds. The AR15 style of detachable boxing magazine is interchangeable between the Mossberg MVP Bolt models and the MMR Hunter and MMR Tactical semi-automatic rifles. By law, a potential customer must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a firearm or legally possess a firearm. Persons under the age of 18 but over the age of 12 can obtain a juvenile driver`s licence, which does not allow them to purchase a firearm, but to borrow an unattended firearm and purchase ammunition. Children under the age of 12 who need a firearm to hunt or fall can also obtain the minor`s driver`s license. This is usually reserved for children in remote areas, especially indigenous communities that practice subsistence hunting. [42] Low-powered rim percussion bullets such as the 22LR are legally exempt from legislation prohibiting standard capacity magazines in all other calibers. Hundreds of thousands of gun owners own these devices and the RCMP has no reliable way of informing them of this policy change. Like all prohibited devices and firearms, possession without a licence is subject to severe criminal penalties that turn law-abiding gun owners into paper criminals.
There are also 50 Beowulf magazines that offer increased capacity, but the RCMP considers them prohibited if they have a capacity of 50 rounds per 50 Beowulf. While self-defense is rarely considered a legal reason for obtaining a PAL, the use of force with a firearm is legal as long as the accused can prove that his or her life was in danger. Sections 34 and 35 of the Criminal Code provide the legal framework for the use of force against intruders. [58] [59] Magazines containing centerfire cartridges designed or manufactured for use in semi-automatic handguns are limited to 10 rounds of ammunition. Capacity is measured by the type of cartridge for which the magazine is designed. In some cases, the magazine may hold more than 10 cartridges of a different caliber; However, this is not relevant to determining the maximum allowable capacity. [41] I watched the Ruger American Ranch with a swell, but the only comments related to the magazine`s restrictions are that the annular percussion American is limited to 10 rounds of BX-25. If ak47 magazines are legal, why can`t lar15 magazines be? They are certainly legal, says Solomon Friedman, an Ottawa-based firearms lawyer: “I don`t think there`s a debate about legality. It is complicated, and people do not understand it, but legally, it is very well regulated. The Marlin Model 45 (Camp Carbine) 45-car rifle uses magazines designed and manufactured for the Colt 1911 handgun, so seven rounds and eight rounds are allowed.
A similar example is the 10-round magazine for the Rock River Arms LAR-15 pistol, regardless of the type of firearm in which it is actually used. So: are they legal to own? Is it legal to shoot a gun (another point that is being discussed)? And why this nervousness? Abolishing the long-gun registry was a long-standing election promise of the Conservative Party. [44] In early 2006, the Conservative Party became the largest party in the House of Commons, and the new government announced a one-year amnesty period (later extended by another year) during which long-gun owners with a previous licence would not be penalized for not registering their long guns. The legal requirement for registration has not been repealed; Legislation abolishing the registration requirement for long guns was introduced by the government during the 39th Parliament, but was not put to a vote. It was rejected by the opposition parties, which together had the majority of seats in the lower house. A similar bill was reintroduced as Bill C-391 in the 40th Parliament, but was narrowly defeated on September 22, 2010. [45] During the 41. During the legislative period, the new Conservative majority government again introduced legislation to abolish the registration requirement for non-restricted firearms and to destroy the registry database. Bill C-19, known as the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act, was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate and received Royal Assent on April 5, 2012. [46] As a result of the 2012 amendments, Canadians were no longer required to register non-restricted firearms. In addition, the existing Canadian Firearms Registry public records of non-restricted firearms owners would have been deleted. [47] The requirement that all firearms owners hold a valid firearms licence remained in effect.
[48] ATRS (Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply) produces its own AT15 polymer magazines, which also contain 10 cartridges each. While they cost a bit more than other LAR-15 metal mags, they also have an extended handle at the bottom to make them easier to get out of a magazine bag. This would make them slightly better for 3 guns and the like, where a longer mag is easier to handle than the 10 short cartridges. All centre impact cartridge magazines designed or manufactured for use with a semi-automatic rifle shall be permanently limited to five (5) or fewer rounds of the type for which the magazine was originally designed.
