under the stress of a home invasion. For example, Plaintiff Dylan Harrell is wheelchair bound and has two small children in his home. The wheelchair limits Mr. Harrells mobility and severely restricts his ability to quickly place himself in the best position to repel a home invasion, as well as his ability to place himself behind barriers or use objects in his home as a means to steady his firearm. Thus, he is even more dependent on immediate firearms defense than able-bodied people, who might be able to flee the house or buy time by running to another room. The limits on Mr. Harrells ability to quickly re-position himself also severely limit his ability to retreat quickly and effectively in order to allow him the time necessary to change magazines. Eliminating his ability to use magazines with a capacity larger than 15 rounds has a corresponding impact on his ability to exercise his constitutional right to defend himself, his home, and his children.

temporary transfer exceptions which were deliberately excluded from the bill and would also have to set up a functional system of background checks for private sales which private individuals could reasonably use. Such language might be created by the legislature, but cannot be created by a court. A law covering the same subject as Section 1 of HB 1229 might be constitutional in some applications, but Section 1 of HB 1229 as written is unconstitutional.
magazine be in continuous possession of the owner mirrors similar language in HB 1229. Both bills had the same House of Representatives sponsor. HB 1229 exempts from the background check requirement (g) any temporary transfer that occurs while in the continuous presence of the owner of the firearm. Obviously, this means that the owner of the firearm must be present at all times in the exact place where the transferee is holding the gun. The requirement of continuous presence would obviously not be satisfied if the owner left for half an hour or for a few days.

Diagram A. Detachable box magazine This is a detachable box magazine for the Ruger Mini-14 rifle. Parts are as follows: 32 = the shell. This is the box in which the ammunition is contained. 28 = floor plate. Sometimes called the magazine bottom, base plate, or foot plate. This Complaint uses floor plate. 29 = floor plate retainer. The retainer (29) holds the floor plate (28) onto the shell (32). There are many other ways to attach the floor plate to the magazine shell. For example, a pin might hold the floor plate in place; or the floor plate might fit into slots on the magazine shell. 30 = spring. When the magazine is fully loaded, the spring is fully compressed. When the firing chamber in the gun is empty, the spring pushes upward, so that the top round of ammunition in the magazine is pushed into the firing chamber. 31 = follower. The follower sits on top of the spring, and underneath the ammunition. It provides a solid base for seating of the ammunition. When the magazine is loaded, several rounds of ammunition sit in a vertical stack on top of follower. The follower is on top of the spring, and the spring sits on the floor plate.
This is a schematic for the Remington Model 14. It is a pump-action rifle, first produced in 1912. The magazine parts are highlighted with color. 49 = magazine tube, which contains the ammunition. 44 = end cap. May also be called magazine plug or removable plug. Similar in function to the floor plate in the detachable box magazine. Can be removed for disassembly and cleaning of the magazine. Can be replaced by an extender, which increases the ammunition capacity of the magazine.
45 = end cap screw (a/k/a magazine plug screw). Holds the end cap onto the magazine tube, and holds the front of the assembled magazine onto the front of the rifle barrel. 48 = spring. As ammunition is loaded into the magazine, the spring compresses. The spring is firmly seated on the end cap. After the shooter has fired a round by pressing the trigger, the user pumps the fore-end (35) forward and then back. This cycles the action of the pump-action gun, so that the empty shell is ejected from the firing chamber; then a fresh shell is pushed by the spring from the magazine and into the firing chamber. 43 = magazine follower. Same function as the follower in the box magazine. The ammunition is stacked in a horizontal line, with one round of ammunition touching the follower. The spring pushes the follower, which pushes the ammunition. 46 = magazine ring. Holds the middle of the magazine onto the middle of the rifle barrel. The back of the magazine tube has threads so that the tube can be screwed into connection with the action bar (1), which fits inside the receiver (9).
