How do you people survive without magazines? I live in California, and have been stocking up on mags for years now, but I just don't see how you folks up in free America survive without being able to buy a simple 30 round mag.

I feel like I'm just rambling at this point but the point is simple, I don't know how you people outside of California and other states with magazine capacity laws can function with only 10 round mags being legal here. I just ordered another shipment of mags for my AR and my Glock and I still don't feel safe with the 40 odd mags I have for my AR and 40 odd mags for my Glock.<br><br>I've been buying magazines for years now and I still feel like I'm running out of them, I have 40 30 round mags for my AR, and about 40 odd mags for my Glock but I still feel like I need more, can people in states without magazine capacity limits just walk into a gun store and buy 30 round mags by the pallet? What is that like? How do you people not run out of mags? Do you just always have thousands of dollars worth of magazines, or am I just going crazy?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>EDIT: Wow, I just woke up and wow. Anyway, I'm surprised that people haven't been buying up mags and getting them out to Californians, I guess I don't blame people, but I hope the information I provided will be useful. What I've learned from this is that if you live in a free state you should absolutely be stocking up on mags, buying them whenever you can, and keeping them in your attic, because you never know what the future holds. You can never have too many mags.<br><br>The best way to circumvent this law is to just have all of your magazines purchased or bought before 2016, this is the easiest way to not have any problems at all. Buying mags from people online is risky and can easily get you busted or even killed, I personally know people who have been caught by people with guns who were supposed to be selling them mags in parking lots and the like, so I suggest you avoid that route.<br><br>There are a few companies out there who ship mags into California, but it can be difficult. I personally only buy my mags from one place, and that place is what keeps me well stocked and ready to take on whatever zoomers are currently trying to take from me.<br><br>If you are currently in the process of accumulating mags, what I suggest you do is first off all buy a gun or two, then use those guns to accumulate mags, and the best way to do that is to join a gun club, I pay $100 a month for 24/7 access to 4 ranges and a place to keep my mags and guns safe.<br><br>The best way to accumulate mags from the gun club is to just be there whenever people are there, especially on the weekends, and always bring a gun and a bunch of loose rounds with you, because the best way to get free mags is to use other peoples' mags.<br><br>What I do whenever people are at the gun club is I just go up to them and introduce myself and ask them if they need any help shooting, and usually how it works is that they'll ask me if I want to shoot their gun, and then I'll say yes, but I need to use a mag, and they'll always let me use one of their mags.<br><br>I've accumulated hundreds of mags this way, and by hundreds of mags I mean hundreds of different kinds of mags, because whenever I get a mag for free, I always keep it, because I don't care if it's for a gun I don't have, I'll just buy the gun for that mag because I hate spending money on mags, and I never turn down a free mag.<br><br>So, if you're in California and you want to accumulate some free mags, I suggest you join a gun club. I personally live in San Diego so the best gun club down here by far is getguns.club, but wherever you are I suggest you Google gun clubs in your area and start making some calls. If I lived in Sacramento I would join the Sacramento Gun Club, and if I lived in the Bay Area I would join the San Francisco Gun Club, and the LA Gun Club if I lived there, you get the picture.<br><br>So that's my advice from one California gun owner to other Californians, accumulate free mags by joining a gun club and then using those free mags to accumulate more free mags.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>EDIT: Well, it looks like getguns.club go suspensioned by Reddit, but I'm sure you can find it on Googler or whatever. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm not the owner, I just personally use this gun club, and this is the only gun club I've been to, so I don't know what other gun clubs are like, but I can imagine they all work pretty much the same. If you're in California and you want to join a gun club I suggest you go to the one closest to you, and if you let them know I sent you you'll get a discount on your membership fee, and I'll get a discount on my next month's membership fee, so you're helping me out by joining the gun club, you're just gonna have to use your best judgment when you join a gun club and go there and meet people and take some free mags here and there, and use those free mags to accumulate more free mags.<br><br>Anyway, my actual accumulalation process generally goes something like this: I go to the range and I always make sure to bring a rifle with me, because people don't want to use loose rounds out of a pistol, they'll always make you use their pistol if you want to shoot it, and that's not gonna do you any good. That's just how it is, I've never met someone who will let me use their pistol with loose rounds. But people will always let you use their mag if you're using their rifle, because people generally don't care about their mags, they just care about their pistol, because pistols are much more expensive than mags, and people generally don't want to risk their expensive pistol by letting a stranger use it, but people generally don't care as much about their mag so they'll usually let you use their mag with their rifle, but they won't let you use their pistol with their mag.<br><br>So I always bring a rifle with me, and I only use ARs because they have the largest mag selection of any gun, and I generally use either a Glock or a pistol that doesn't have a lot of mags available for it, because people with Glocks always have a bunch of mags and they're always confused when I ask if I can use one of their mags, because they always want me to use their pistol if I want to shoot it, and they generally always say yes, but they generally always want me to use their pistol, and that's not what I want, so I always ask them if I can use their mag, and they usually say yes, and I always thank them and take their mag and then I always give it back to them with a couple rounds missing, and they generally don't ask me how many rounds were in the mag I used, because they generally didn't keep track of it, because they don't care about the mag or the couple rounds I used.<br><br>So I always bring a rifle and I always bring a Glock because people always have a bunch of mags for their Glocks, and people always want me to shoot their Glock when I ask if I can shoot it, so I always tell them that I'm not really comfortable shooting other people's pistols because I've had people be angry with me in the past for shooting their pistol and not putting the rounds back in the mag, or for using a mag they didn't want me to use, or for putting their pistol in a place where they couldn't see, so I always say that I'm not really comfortable shooting other people's pistols, because I've had bad experiences in the past, and people generally respect that and they generally always say it's fine, because they generally don't want me to use their pistol anyway, they just offer me because they generally want me to shoot whatever gun they have.<br><br>So I always bring a rifle and some loose rounds for the rifle, and I always bring a Glock, and I go up to people and I introduce myself and I always ask if they need any help shooting, and they generally always say yes because they generally can't hear and they generally always think I'm offering to spot their targets, so they generally always say yes, because they generally always appreciate someone helping them spot their targets.<br><br>So I always go up to people and I introduce myself and I always ask if they need any help shooting, and they generally always say yes, and I generally always ask if I can shoot their gun, and they generally always say yes, so I always ask them if I can use one of their mags, and they generally always say yes, so I always thank them and I take the mag and I use it and I always give it back to them, and they generally never ask how many rounds I used, because they generally never keep track of it, and I never take more than 3-4 rounds from each mag I use, so they generally always don't notice, because they generally always have full mags anyway, and they generally don't care about a couple rounds here and there, because they generally don't have any reason to keep track of it.<br><br>Anyway, that's how I accumulate mags, I just go to the range and I always bring a rifle and I always bring a Glock and I always bring some loose rounds, because people
