Creates the offense of unlawful possession of an ammunition feeding device that holds more than ten rounds
HB 891 creates a new criminal offense for manufacturing, transporting, repairing, or selling ammunition feeding devices (like magazines) that hold more than ten rounds. This law directly affects individuals and businesses handling such devices, making it a class D felony to sell or distribute them. The bill defines "large-capacity ammunition feeding device" as any magazine, belt, drum, or similar item holding over ten rounds, with exemptions for law enforcement, lawful commercial transactions, museum displays, or dramatic performances. Violations involving other prohibited items (like machine guns or switchblade knives) carry lesser penalties. The bill does not change existing federal law but establishes new state-level criminal penalties for these specific items.
