Thread: Here's a question that is not so easy to answer.

I have an A category AR15 and I am aware that if I have an E category MSSA then that rifle is registered to me and only I can use it and my daughter can't. But when we get our E, what if I have a 30 round magazine and attach it to my AR15 (thereby making it E cat), use it and then take the 30 round magazine off rendering it A cat again, and hand it to my daughter who attaches her own 30 round magazine making it E cat (for the duration that the magazine is on it).

So what is the deal with that? Would it be legal for me to give my A cat AR15 to my daughter ( which it should be)?

Someone on here must know but as I said, the vetting officer didn't know the answer.

Also,


The vetting officers generally don't know shit about firearms laws, just how to ask the questions written in the book.
Not their fault, nor is it really their job to know much more, they're not cops or AO's.
