Sportsmans panic

[Jamnanc]

I was just at the Thornton store. There was a sign at the gun counter that said all modern sporting rifles and pistols made to take high caps would not be sold after the 30th. I asked the guy behind the counter and he said they don't make the laws, just follow them. I asked if they'd sell without mags and he said they "didn't want to go to jail". WTF

nice selection of ar's in stock btw.

[spqrzilla]

That makes no sense.

Is there any others who have seen this sign?

[hurley842002]

That's right in line with what I was told in regards to pistols. Anything with 15+ round mags and or removable base plates, they would not be selling....

[OtterbatHellcat]

And the fags that voted these fags in....wouldn't want to own any kind of gun in the first place.

I'm really glad they're in charge of stuff like this.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Wednesday was also magpuls last day for taking CO orders.

[Jamnanc]

Guess ill be shopping at Jensens.

[SouthPaw]

Jensens has earned my business through all of this. Only place I will go from here on out.

^^^What he said.

Firing Line will continue to sell any firearm we can obtain that has a magazine capacity of 15 or less -with the magazines- and we will continue to stock and sell any magazines that are available that hold 15 or less rounds. Baseplate irrelevant. There will not be any magazine police there. There are quite a few firearms out there where the manufacturer does not make 10 round mags and will not be tooling up for 15s. These will not be available in this state. There will be a little burp in supply as everyone adjusts and finds sufficient 10 round mags for various firearms. Manufacturers will not ship firearms without magazines just to comply with CO. No one in the supply chain will stop to open factory-sealed boxes and remove magazines just to ship to CO. We will simply be purchasing CA-compliant firearms whenever they are available. There is no other choice at this time.

Nothing says awesome like a Glock 17 with two, 10 round mags.

Lol, no sh$t!

[sneakerd]

We just sold today a new Glock 34, 4th Gen, with 3 10-rnd mags. Right now, if we don't purchase CA-compliant guns (in place of over 15 rnd guns), we won't have them. The guy who bought this pistol today was waaaaay happy to get it 10s or not.

Glad you guys thought ahead, as much as I hate it all to begin with. Guess I'm glad I got some STANDARD capacity G17 mags from you awhile back lol.

hey guys, as all the regular capacity mags go out, at least this comes in: [good fucking night, america]

No! It couldn't be....

[sellersm]

LOL! Vindication for Hummer!

None of us has a crystal ball. What will happen, will happen. Each store's gonna do something different, is my guess. I was at the Big R by Peyton today and they had guns with mags > 15, no "fire sale" that I could see. In fact, there wasn't a soul at the gun counter except for me! No signs either.

[sneakerd]

Hummer and Jim were certainly right in that thread. We have already purchased some 10 rnd AR mags for that which we have in stock and in store.

[spqrzilla]

That all makes sense. The OP's original post did not as he implied that the Sportsman's counter help was misstating the law. But I could not tell if the FUD was on which side of the counter.

That Sportsmans might have to figure out what stock they couldn't sell because of a lack of magazines makes sense. Being so confused as to claim the guns themselves were banned makes no sense.

My thoughts exactly.

I've stopped going into Sportsman's Warehouse in Broomfield altogether. For over 6 months they've had no ammo except shotgun shells, and they finally decided that they just wouldn't put it on the shelves anymore when it comes in . . . they keep it behind the counter at customer service and one day a week you can stand outside for 2 hours before they open for a chance to buy a few boxes of low grade FMJ target ammo. Bass Pro Shop rarely has ammo either, but at least they still put it on the shelves and have a 2 box limit.

[TheGrey]

I was there this morning, in the parking lot. There was what appeared to be a reporter with two cameramen, although there was no sign of a newstruck (just their pickup trucks.) I watched as cameraman # 1 (with tripod) filmed the guy talk a bit, then he and handheld camera guy #2 trotted into the store. They came back out within thirty seconds or so, then filmed a bit more in the lot and then piled into one pickup and circled the lot about six times. There were orange signs in the windows and on the doors of the store, but I didn't see what they said.

Thornton perhaps...

84th Avenue?

[sneakerd]

Julie Hayden from Fox31 was in FL today with her cameraman. We didn't pay her much attention and no interview was given. Just checked their website and her cameraman got me anyway, not my best side- assuming I have one anymore!

I guess I got lucky that Saturday I stopped by SW in Thornton after picking up some work from Bert. I picked up 6 boxes of GMM 168gr .308. I did have to bribe another customer $10 to buy three boxes for me, but there were 3-4 cases in a buggy at the time. I posted the intel here, hung out to sit on some for anyone replying to the thread, but had no takers so I left after an hour.

I must say with all due respect the Denver Post, yes I know...is stating you guys are doing the same as Sportsmans. I only say this because I am curious if the FL is. I understand your post and get it but why couldn't you sell an AR after June 30th without a 30rd mag? At least your inventory?

[hurley842002]

Huh, sure seems a false reporting on the DP's part could turn away many customers, folks thinking they can't purchase certain firearms, someone needs to set them straight....

[sneakerd]

We can sell an AR without a mag. No problem. But we're trying to get 10 rounders so that we can put something in the magwell. We're having close-outs on hi-cap mags, not the guns. We also have a number of consignments that have hi-caps. It's up to the owner if they want to come and get their hi-caps back before the 1st, or get their gun back.

[KevDen2005]

I hate the term "high cap mag." Didn't think I would live in a state that used it as a regular term. I am going to cry now.

Instead of crying turn those tears to anger and resolve to do your part to undo these and other garbage laws passed by the legislature and the mayor of Colorado. If the Morse and Giron recalls show us anything is that Democrats and independents signed these recalls in equal counts to the republicans. When I read that recently that ignited hope for 2014 and beyond. If I am wrong then I wont cry I will just move to where my perception of freedom is not taken for granted. Hang in there right now we are winning, the so called Democrats in power right now are not real democrats they are socialist and communist, and the real American s are starting to see that. Yeah we will always have gimmiethats and freeloaders but there safety nets are starting to erode. PREP for the future dont cry.

[theGinsue]

Stopped by SW here in the Springs around noon today. Still selling "high cap" mags and AR's, but talked to a guy I know there & they're slammed with last minute AR & other gun sales.

[Reave]

Big R near me had all magazine fed semi autos grouped together with a sign stating that they will not be carried after today.

Damn shame!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yes, it most certainly is.

[Irving]

What about guns on consignment? Those could easily be sold without the mags, or out of state through Gunbroker with the mags, right?
