Default 10 + magazines

HI all, I will be driving to Cal in a few days , I'm from New Mexico and I have a CCW. I will be going to the range with relatives and will be shooting mainly hand guns. I was wondering is it legal for me to bring and use 10+ magazines for my handguns? I know you can't sell them or loan them out.

Thank you

From what I understand, magazine capacity for PRCA is limited to 10 rounds. You should also check to see that your firearms are "California Legal". Certain models of firearms are not legal in PRCA.

The CA AG approved list is for purchase. It's not a ban to possess.

Obviously there's their AWB and NFA ban as well. Don't bring your AR-15 or AK-47 variant into CA.

Do not bring 10+ capacity magazines into CA. If you plan on taking your handguns into CA, make sure they're revolvers or pick up some CA legal magazines just for your trips to CA. The OP's NW CCW is not valid in CA. CA only honors their own and even that's debatable in some CA jurisdictions.

It is not legal for you to import your large capacity magazines into CA.
Prior to entering into CA, you can dissassemble your large capacity magazines and never assemble them while in CA or assemble them in order to make a permanent 10 round magazine.
Use 10 round or less magazines while in CA.

Make sure the firearms you will be bringing with you to CA are not considered assault weapons. If they are you can not bring them into CA, unless you modify them to be CA legal.

Your NM permit is not valid in CA, so do not carry conceal while in CA.

While in CA, transport your firearms unloaded and in a locked container.
Ammunition can be in the same locked container holding the unloaded firearms.
