Shotguns with folding stocks and 12rd mags - 11/09/14 10:14 PM
A member PMed this. What do you guys think?:
Hey, not trying to be a jerk, but I have noticed there are a lot of guys posting semi-auto shotguns, VEPR/Saiga's with folding stocks and drum mags and 12rd mags. In ref to the below law, its little known in va, but this is considered a felony to have a 12rd mag with it. The posters posting photos of them together is proof of the crime. Thought maybe a warning should be said. I have heard people argue that the law is gray on the new guns, but sure reads to me that its still a crime. I myself did not know until I bought a VEPR and looked it up. Unless a lawyer wants to try to create case law, it might be best to not attempt to violate it. Thanks for the great site. -35OPS
