South Bend, IN

[Redemption]

I was ordering some Mags for the Mini 14 when I noticed Ruger said these magazines could not be shipped to South Bend, IN. When did this happen, and if it is true, why did I never hear anything about it? Did they mean South Bend Louisiana? I've seen a restriction notice for there also.

I think I remember a post awhile back that said the city of South Bend has a restriction on 30 round mags, maybe some one else can tell you more.

Sounds like South Bend, I know you can't have tasers there either.
Midwest has a sighn up that sais like 4 cities in the US that you cant have them and South Bend is one of the 4.
.... And I agree, South Bend

Wouldn't State law trump a city law in this case? Has anyone sued the city for it yet?

Citys and Twp can enact laws that are stricter than state law but not more lenient!!

South Bend is a Sh*thole I had a roommate in college that lived there and he told me stories.

I wonder if this is just in the city limits or for us county folks too?

i imagine its just for people in the city limits. i really hope so anyway.

I found this. Not sure if it is out dated though as it appears to be from 1994

Here is a snip from the South Bend Code book

Sec. 13-97. Restrictions on the possession and manufacturing of assault weapons.
(a) No person may manufacture any assault weapon, as defined herein, within the City of South Bend.
(b) No person may possess any loaded assault weapon, as defined herein, within the City of South Bend, except as specifically provided herein.
(c) No person may manufacture or possess any magazine with a capacity of more than fifteen (15) rounds for assault weapons within the City of South Bend, except as specifically provided herein.
(Ord. No. 8468-94, § 1, 2-21-94)

it says 15 round mags for assault weapons. so i guess thats dependent on their definition of assault weapons.

Aint that the truth!
I believe this is a city ordinance, like Mishawaka and no shooting allowed ANYWHERE. Just ask midwest gun exchange.
Their all assault weapons...... better hide that mag

I could be way off here, but I believe it is completely legal to own 30 round magazines in South Bend, you can even buy them locally. I think that you just can't have companies ship them into South Bend. It's stupid, and makes no sense. But I looked it up a while ago and that was my conclusion.

But then how would local businesses get them in to sell them?

I would assume this also. I have bought numerous 30 round mags from Midwest with no problems. I am email the SBPD to see if I can get a little clarification of the issue.

Midwest gun exchange is not in South Bend and never has been....
Now Indiana Arms & Ammo is in south bend though and they also sell 30 Rnd. mags.....
Midwest won't sell a tazer to a SB resident though.
The tazers require a background check for the ones that shoot too, I was surprised at that.

DOH!

Yeah i knew that. Sorry don't know what i was thinking of. I was even just in there less than 3 hours ago.

The recent gun show at the century center they had 30 rd mags. You'll need them if you plan on walking around downtown. :^)

Twenty Five years ago I had relocated my young family to the West side of Southbend on Lawndale Ave. We rented a house in this area thinking it was a decent neighborhood. The day we moved in there was a teenager running across the lawn with a bunch of kids chasing him. I said to my wife "aww... Look honey the kids are playing." Ten minutes later they came back the other direction. This time the punks all had wooden bats and pipes. I thought to myself we had moved to the wrong neighborhood.

During the next year there were 12 car break ins including our vehicle. Some Cady even had their dash laying on the lawn in the morning. But what took the cake was that they poisoned my favorite dog. I don't know how anyone could ever do that. I miss my dog Rusty but I don't miss the punks.

I don't know what is wrong with SB. You have Notre Dame there and St. Mary's. You would think that this would make it a great college town. Evidently the problem is too big.
