How dare you not be able to afford health insurance! Pay this fine that you also likely cannot afford! -The State

Sorry for your loss.

RI is unfortunately a blue state, and they haven't met a tax they don't like. We're one of the only states that taxes social security benefits.

If there's any kind of holiday, they push it from Friday to Saturday collection typically.

You may be encountering that?

100% this.

I've read in other threads that this is a pretty common smuggling technique used in prisons.

If you can legally possess the firearm in question in the state in question, you can declare it any fly with it.

Places like ny and NJ disregard federal law on this frequently though.

Don't kid yourself, that's going to happen in any state.

Happy to help.

Btw, I may have misspoke as far as sending you to r knives, for this was the post I was thinking of.

Do not do this OP.

They will ruin the knives. They just put them through a automated pull through machine with a "standard" angle/bevel. Check r/knives for horror stories about WS.

There's one of those in Johnston by Rt 6 and Aldi too, just minus the Starbucks. I wonder if its owned by the same group.

A glass of water with a (D) next to its name would be sent to congress in RI

A coworker has gone to Albert Morano in Johnston, recommended him when I asked.

When was the last time you did any force on force training or shot under duress? Since you seem to think its so easy.

>Kind of a grey area

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Small caveat.

The CA mag ban is under jurisdiction of the 9CA. A ruling there is not binding to anyone outside of that jurisdiction.

It would be great case law, but we'd need a victory in the 1CA to affect MA and RI.

NYSRPA v. Bruen. Recent SCOTUS decision that not only got rid of the two step interest balancing judicial precedent, but also noted that the 2A is protected hlby historical analogs to the revolutionary period.

Show me a mag ban from pre civil war era?

The tl;dr is unless there were analogous gun laws on the books when the constitution was drafted/ratified, the gun law is unconstitutional.

That means no more AWBs or Mag bans in the near future, but the courts move at a snails pace.

OP has not said, other than;

>I cannot order a 10 or less capacity magazine for this firearm as they are not made

One of the young senators made mention of a similar situation during the joke that was the hearings before they passed the law. This is not going to be an uncommon occurrence.

That's the point. He can't get a 10 rounder.

Not every firearm has 10 round mags available.

Further - without the magazine the firearm is operable useless. Many of them won't even fire without a magazine inserted (as a safety feature). So your car analogy is more apt if you said someone was taking the gas tank out of your car. Sure they're not taking your car, but they're rendering it pretty useless, no?

As the state has not put forth any guidelines as to what constitutes permanent modification, the onus is actually on the courts to decide.

Thats literally one of the main points if the current lawsuit against the state.

OP is being deprived of his legally owned property because of a likely unconstitutional law they passed.

Sounds like you would have been or currently are a perfect candidate for a lawsuit.

Pretty regular updates over on r/RIguns regarding the active lawsuit. Perhaps you would be interested in becoming a part of it you certainly have standing. (IANAL, and have no affiliation with the active suits against the state. I am just a concerned RI gun owner who stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night.)

To answer your question more directly, you would have to block the mag or modify it in a way that prevents loading more than 10 rounds, regardless of how it shipped from the factory. Folks in NY/NJ/CT have been dealing with this for decades, and that's typically the simplest solution.

Maybe?

In the real world and the legal world, that is what we refer to as hearsay and holds no actual weight.

In the mind of a rabid anti trump type, that is an admission of some kind of guilt apparently.

OP you aren't going to get anything other than people shilling for McKee and the democrats on this sub.

Reddit is fickle. Like most of the internet they don't want to hear the truth. They want nice curated repeatable soundbites and low complexity answers/solutions.

I minored in Green Engineering and have been living and breathing this shit for the better part of the last decade, but what do I know, right?

I think you misunderstand me and my point. I'm all for solar and wind energy, but these are not nearly the slam dunk magic bullet fixes people proclaim them to be.

Similar to how the best thing you can do vehicle wise (aside from not using one or taking public transit) is to keep your 4-cylinder econobox and drive it until it doesn't anymore. NOT run out and buy the new sexy all electric vehicle with the lithium batteries (which are awful for the environment) and just get powered ny whatever powers your wall at home anyway (hint, it's mostly natural gas).

There's a reason it is REDUCE, REUSE. RECYCLE, in that order. That's the order of impact.

Almost everything done or suggested to date is greenwashing at beat, or deliberately leaving details out at worst.

The energy and carbon cost to fabricate a wind turbine and ship it overseas is astronomical.

At least with solar panels it's a low production cost and you can cram a lot of them into a 40ft container to amortize the shipping cost impact across a lot of panels making it somewhat less of an impact.

If you care about the environment, don't just support sexy big initiatives (at least not without fully understand the total life cycle of their impacts), but make smaller changes to REDUCE your own impact.

Keep your thermostat at a moderate temp at put a sweatshirt on (or shorts depending on the season). Dry your clothes on a line, not in the dryer. Don't buy/lease a new car every 3 years, run your existing one into the ground or bike/walk or take mass transit.

These changes will net for net have a bigger impact that you're in control over rather than some big sexy initiative that has a larger carbon footprint than the 20 year payback, and are trash from a carbon/environment ROI perspective

Typically built in Germany too iirc. Certainly not locally sourced, or even domestically sourced.

You know the carbon impact to ship those huge things across the ocean? Any idea what the ROI from a carbon footprint standpoint is?

Most people think oh great renewable energy, but don't even take a second thought to the bigger picture or total product life cycle.
