Barrington residents surrender high-capacity clips to police
Police will hold gun magazines for residents
Barrington Police Chief Michael Correia said about a half-dozen residents stopped into the station late last week to turn over firearm magazines that carried more than 10 rounds of ammunition, following the enactment of a new law in Rhode Island.
Chief Correia said people can turn over the magazines at the department — police will hold the items and if the law is overturned or changed, residents can return and pick up the magazines.
Chief Correia said people need to turn over any magazines containing more than 10 rounds.
“You really should, otherwise you’re in possession of contraband,” he said. “We’re more than happy to take them in and document it. It’s a state law.”
