Proof of purchase date

[OregonRider]

This may be far fetched but here goes…
If you have to prove that you purchased high capacity magazines before a specific date…
Put down a piece of newspaper, clearly showing today's date and lay magazines on top. Take a photo and voila, proof.
Probably a goofy idea full of holes but hey, it's the internet. Goofy ideas abound. And The Dude abides.

I took a pic of my magazines with grandfather klauss so I'm good. pretty sure

The burden of proof is on the government, you've committed no crime by owning standard capacity magazines.

 

[ar man]

Probably not a bad idea. Proof can also get one in trouble. It's the state and government they can and will lose your proof.

too lazy to go look for past transactions or receipts, I will be okay.

since, there are no dates on most magazines I own, personally I don't see a point.

Newspapers prove nothing at all. I can take a picture with yesterday's newspaper in 15 years to spoof a previous date. What I can't do is take a picture with tomorrow's newspaper today, so that kind of thing is only useful proving something exists, such as a hostage being alive.


If you email yourself pictures, print those pictures with a given date, then mail yourself the pictures and DON'T open the letter, you have the proof you'd need in court with several dated layers.

The biggest issue is, magazines don't carry serials so how can you prove that specific magazine was in your possession? You're pretty much bubblegumed if you go to court and the judge isn't feeling friendly.

I'm not fretting it but I do have #### +10 mags & like I said, it's a far fetched idea.

 

[MikeInOr]

I have some of my fathers tools wrapped in news papers from back in the 80's. I suppose I could pull one of those papers out and take some pictures.

...Just a thought.

use film camera too, since digital cameras leave trace of date and location.

If the CMOS is correctly set
01/01/2000 12:00 may be the default if it's not properly set or an internal battery died

 

[TTSX]

Again, newspaper proves bubblegum-all

Yup, so any digital photos taken today would prove for the court somone took the photos after the 2022 deadline...

I'm not worried about trying to prove anything to anyone

Shall not be infringed. It's discusting our elected officials can't understand the law of the land.

This doesn't exactly answer the OP's original question, but here's what I did / continue to do.

I put all of my mags with a capacity of greater than 10 rounds into my gun trust. This way it is legal for the OTHER MEMBERS IN MY TRUST to be in possession and to use those magazines.

My original trust had a list of all of my 10+ round mags. Since the time I filed my trust - any time I purchase a firearm that comes with 10+ round mags (or if I buy the mags directly), I prepare an "exhibit" document to add the new mags to the trust (as I do with a firearm).

The original inventory of mags (which was part of the original trust document) was notarized, so I've got a date of ownership for those mags.

New mags are added to the trust with an exhibit document that I sign and date - but that does NOT prove I had THOSE NEW mags before the deadline date, since I could easily put any date on that exhibit form since it does NOT have to be notarized.

Same thing with a newspaper. I could have a copy of the Oregonian dated before the deadline date - keeping in my office. Then, months later - AFTER that deadline date - I could pull that newspaper off the shelf and take a picture with my new, 10+ round mags. So, all that picture proves is that I have a copy of that newspaper in my photo with the mags.

This does NOT work like a proof-of-life photo with a newspaper. In a proof-of-life photo, the objective is to prove that a person is still alive AFTER the publication date of the newspaper in the photo.

To take a photo of something with a newspaper does NOT prove that you had the item BEFORE that paper was published. It only proves that I had the newspaper in my possession and that I took a photo of it with my magazines. I could have taken that photo a year after that newspaper was printed.

In all actuality - it is VERY UNLIKELY that a person with 10+ round mags (such as myself) will be investigated UNLESS there is an initializing event (like a self-defense shooting, in my case, ... or a criminal committing a crime with a firearm) that is investigated. In that event, an anti-gun district attorney could tack on additional charges for possession of a magazine with greater than 10+ rounds to "pad the charges" so that those unrealistic charges can be used by the DA's office to bargain the defendant into a plea deal (whether you're a law abiding citizen involved in a self-defense shooting, or if you're a criminal and committed a crime with a firearm).

Anyway, my 2 cents.

All of my magazines identify as female. You can't ask them their age.

I'm so glad to see this topic start up again…..

 

[foxmeadow]

I thought the metadata embedded in a digital photo was proof enough if it ever came to that. If it's time to bury 'em....

It depends on the exact digital camera. Old point and shoots have manually set/resetting internal clocks. Cell phone cameras are a different story altogether though
