And your buddy could do the same thing with the same photo of the same mags.I agree with @Yarome (and a lot of the rest of you) in that there gets to be a point where trying to prove you owned your mags before the effective date of the ballot measure is ridiculous.
But being a bit obsessive/compulsive on such matters, I've identified a strategy I "might" pursue.
Notarization.
A Notary can NOT notarize a photo. But they CAN notarize a STATEMENT from me about a photo(s), along with accompanying documents.
Given that I have a spreadsheet of all of my mags (told 'ya - a little OC), I could lay the mags out and take photos. I figure that even though I own hundreds of +10 mags collected over that past 40 years or so, I could group them and get by with 4 or 4 photos.
Then present a document for notarization with the spreadsheet and accompanying photos and a statement that I owned these mags before BM 114 was enacted.
Print out the photos, print out the spreadsheet, print out a statement with space for signatures, pay the notary, then throw it in my safe-deposit box.
Pics and docs would take about an hour. 30 more minutes to hit up my bank's Notary and shove it in the safe deposit box.
I don't need any more mags and can wait until BM 114 is struck down in court before I buy more +10 mags.
Not sure I'll do this, but then again, not sure I won't do this.
Take what you like and leave the rest.
Cheers
Anybody else want to give this a try?
