View Full Version : Magazine bill question
So, just to make sure of something... After the first, can I buy a 15 round magazine, or only 14 and under with 15 and up being bad after the first?
I believe the language states that a magazine having a capacity greater than 15 rounds would be illegal.
I heard 15 round mags that are modified to hold more are illegal too. IE changing base plate to add +2.

Not exactly true...read the injunction. You can buy that mag, but you probably can not add a +2.

What if you bought the 15rnd mag and the +2 before July 1st, but didn't put the +2 on the mag? Could you do it after the 1st? Or would you have a bunch of useless +2 extensions? [panic]

I was in Specialty Sports earlier in the week and ask them what there interpretation of the mag law was. They are going to carry all 15 round (and under) mags removable base plate our not.

The [panic] is sarcastic, the [Rant2] is real.

Can I still buy +2's even after the law goes into effect?

Of course - it's perfectly legal to extend your 10rd Klintonmags to a safe, sane, legal and responsible 12 rounds. No one would be so crass as to install a +2 on a 15rd mag post-July and make it into an evil baby killing machine...

I plan on buying up,all the +2's I can find to make 30 rd mags by stacking them together! Maybe a few 28 rounds for good measure!
I have found a loophole!
Really is anyone worried about enforcement?

Not the least bit concerned about enforcement.

Not even in the slightest... I have no duty to obey an unconstitutional law.

Glad to hear this. I have been wanting to get a Glock 20 (15rd standard mag) but haven't been able to stock up before July 1.
As soon as mags start becoming available again I will make sure to pick up a bunch.

Americans tend to be more independent minded than Canadians and Coloradoans tend to be more independent minded than the average American.
With that in mind, read this (http://www.davekopel.com/NRO/2000/Civil-Disobedience-in-Canada.htm).

I think the Canadians got rid of the gun registry a year or two ago.
I asked because the Hk I'm having come in on Tuesday has 15 rounds mags with it. I needed to know if I had to have him send the mags separately and faster before Monday or not. Since it sounds like 15 rounders are ok, I won't worry about extra shipping.

I also have No worries about enforcement.
What I do have concern with is how many shops or online vendors will stop selling to Colorado because they are unsure about the "interpretation" of the law and don't want to risk going to jail. I think we will see at least a hand full of online vendors stop selling anything that "could" be modified to more then 15 to this state. May even see a few refuse to do business with Colorado period.
The libs know this law, not matter what, won't help anything and won't save any lives. They just want to stick it the freedom lovers like the bullies they are. All this hand wringing and squirming by "us" is getting them their jollies.
Just had to get that off my chest...
Carry on.

A good friend of mine put it quite well, he said; "It's not meant to save lives, it's nothing more than counting coup in the culture war."
They passed these laws purely out of spite, bigotry and hatred.

I'm not "worried" about enforcement. This is the kind of law that will be almost entirely ignored ... until the police have a wild hair up their butt to jam you up. Then they'll paw through your magazines to do so. Much like the case in New York recently where some motorist annoyed a New York state trooper who counted every round in his magazines and charged him for putting eight rounds in one.
Im not worried one bit about law enforcement. But I do see it as one more way LEOs could potentially get you in a bind if they felt like it.

Not worried about enforcement one bit. It's the people that voted for this nonsense that should be worried.

I'm not talking about jail. I'm saying you can only push around the people for so long before we are the next Egypt.
