In "Don’t Let Magazine Limits Undermine Your Defense", Mike Boyle discusses the implications of recent laws in some states that limit firearm accessories like modern sporting rifles and high-capacity magazines. These laws often mislabel such firearms as "assault rifles," and, according to Boyle, they ineffectively restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens without impacting violent crime rates. Boyle argues that if a firearm was originally designed for a larger capacity, then that should be considered standard rather than high capacity.
Boyle suggests strategies for gun owners in restrictive states to continue protecting themselves under these new limitations. He advises that while moving to another state can be a solution, it is not always feasible due to personal commitments. Thus, obeying the law is paramount, and gun owners might find themselves considering firearms designed for lower capacities that meet legal requirements. He highlights his personal choice of the Springfield Armory Ronin and Hellcat models, both offering a balance between legal compliance and defensive capability.
Emphasizing the importance of mindset and tactics for self-defense, Boyle suggests that user skill and the right equipment are crucial, despite any capacity restrictions. Regular practice, especially concerning tactical reloading and drawing skills, remains essential. The ability to promptly and effectively use a gun in self-defense situations is more significant than the magazine capacity alone. He concludes by reaffirming that avoidance of conflict, combined with proper training and situational awareness, are the real keys to personal safety.
