Right. For example, in California you don't want to be caught with magazines over 10 rnd capacity, unless you can prove you owned them pre-ban. And you don't have to have the gun to go with it to get busted.
Importation, manufacture, selling or loaning (unless you remain present) magazines with a capacity greater then 10 rounds is illegal in CA, not posession.

manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or
exposes for sale, or who gives, or lends, any large-capacity
magazine.
(25) As used in this section, "large-capacity magazine" means any

(A) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it
cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.
