At least it isn't a felony. That dumb NY law i believe is a felony for having mags over 7 rounds.
They did just that. Maybe you missed it.they would have taken the hard line just as liberals do and state in no uncertain terms that passage of any of the currently proposed bills would result in their leaving Colorado permanently.
And I sincerely hope Magpul follows through on it.They did just that. Maybe you missed it.
Re: 1224.1224 & 1229 are both little more than symbolic. Yes, they might hamstring a few people, and that is unfortunate, but they are almost completely unenforceable.
For now, maybe.
In a couple generations there will be no "legal" 30 round mags in Colorado.
No, dude, you miss the point. Any kid born after July 2013 could not have possessed a >15 round magazine prior to the effective date. QED.Any mag that is not date stamped or serialized is considered pre-ban, because there is no way to prove it wasn't.

Think long term.

Here's Magpul's statement from Thursday,I truly wish they would have taken the hard line just as liberals do and state in no uncertain terms that passage of any of the currently proposed bills would result in their leaving Colorado permanently.
and another one from earlier that dayWe have now met with CO Governor John Hickenlooper's administration. Message delivered: If House Bill 1224 passes and becomes law, regardless of exemptions or amendments, we will be forced to leave CO, along with our jobs and our tax dollars.
Leadership team is at the Capitol again today, holding the line. Regardless of a manufacturing exemption or not, if HB1224 passes, we have to go. We can't disappoint our customers nor ignore our convictions. Anyone who votes in favor of this bill votes to drive over 600 jobs out of CO. We'll have some contact information for some further assistance coming up soon.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MAGPUL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES IT WILL LEAVE COLORADO IF GUN BILL PASSES
MOVE WOULD COST STATE 600 JOBS, $85 MILLION
Denver, Colorado – February 15th, 2013 - Magpul Industries, an Erie, Colorado, based manufacturer of firearms accessories, announced today that it will be forced to leave the state if House Bill 1224, which would ban standard capacity magazines, becomes law. The announcement was made to Governor Hickenlooper, state legislators, members of the media, and in a full-page advertisement to appear in the Denver Post on Sunday.
Richard Fitzpatrick, Founder, President, and CEO of Magpul Industries, said that regardless of any amendments that may be worked into the bill, he will no longer be able to continue to do business in Colorado if his core product is made illegal.
Might be time to back out of some of the assumptions you're working under.My understanding may be incorrect but what I thought I heard was the amended bill would allow Magpul and others to manufacture and sell to entities and individuals in other non-ban States. In essence, their position was, if I am not mistaken, if they cannot manufacture and sell they will move. With the amended bill, they can but effectively the Citizens of Colorado were left at the bus stop. My hope was that they and other industry leaders would have vowed to move if any further restrictions were enacted.
When you die, you better know someone out of state to ship your magazines to.
Meaning it disappears into the "void" from where it reared its ugly head when I learned the evil thing had jumped into my shooting bag?No, it just can't be possessed by anybody.

A business run like they run storage units, but for folks in neighboring gun un-friendly states to store their "illegal" mags and weapons so they can come to that state and shoot or just wait out the stupidity (or in anticipation of relocating once they have their affairs in order).
Skylerbone said:Not a matter of out of the State. If the owner was a resident at the time of death, he was a resident, the property resides with his estate and no resident can transfer that property. If you are a resident, wait a year, then drive across the border and give away your magazines, you've transferred that magazine and broken the law.
