Vermont Store Holds Gun Magazine Sale Ahead of State Ban

The state's new law limits magazine sales to 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns

Some Vermont gun owners are stocking up on large-capacity magazines before a state ban goes into effect.

Ethan Allen Arms Exchange held a special gun show in Hartford called "Mag-Ban Eve" Saturday and Sunday for last-minute buyers.

The new law limits magazine sales to 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns. However, people who own larger-capacity magazines before Oct. 1 can keep them.

Ethan Allen co-owner KT Cappellini says he feels there's a culture in Vermont that's been "stepped upon."

The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs and other gun associations filed a lawsuit against the new law in April. Federation president Chris Bradley previously said he's confident the court will strike down the ban.
