Oregon Magazine Capacity Laws (2026)
Conditional: No Oregon magazine limit is in effect now.
No Oregon magazine limit is in effect now. Measure 114, passed by voters in 2022, would ban magazines over 10 rounds, but a court injunction blocks it and the Oregon Supreme Court has not ruled. A 2026 law also bars it from applying before January 1, 2028. If it takes effect, possessing a larger magazine is a Class A misdemeanor, with limited exceptions. Check before you travel.

- CaliforniaRestricted
Magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds are banned. It is a crime to bring one into California, or to buy, sell, give, lend or receive one here, and the statute also bans possessing one. Not covered: .22 caliber tube magazines, tubular magazines in lever-action guns, and magazines permanently altered to hold 10 rounds or fewer. A challenge to the ban, Duncan v. Bonta, is pending at the U.S. Supreme Court. The ban remains on the books.

- WashingtonConditional
Washington bans manufacturing, importing, distributing, selling and offering for sale a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, a gross misdemeanor, effective July 1, 2022. The law does not ban possessing one. Importing means moving one into the state, and the only exception is for a person returning with the same magazine they took out, so a visitor who brings one in may be charged.
