Moving to the Denver area

[Flight370]

Hello all. I'm moving to the Denver area- as close to DIA as possible for work. I've read that Denver has an Assault Weapons Ban so I was hoping I could get some advise on apartments in the area away from Denver city limits. I was looking in Aurora, 80016 zip code but I'm not sure what the laws are in Aurora. I was also looking at Parker but it's pretty far from work.

I'm moving from AZ and the gun laws here are great!

Thanks for the advise.

Denver doesn't have a AWB in place (thank god) but we do have some new laws in regards to magazine capacity and private sales of firearms.



Unless possessed before July 1, 2013, all magazines with a capacity of greater than fifteen rounds are now illegal. If you possessed a magazine greater than fifteen rounds before July 1, the sale or transfer of that magazine is not permitted.




The private transfer of a firearm, even between certain family members and friends and while afield, is now criminalized. A prospective firearm transferor must request a background check from a licensed gun dealer in order to transfer or lend a firearm. The transferee may not accept possession of a firearm unless the firearm transferor has obtained approval of the transfer from a licensed gun dealer.

Denver had a 20 round mag limit, which has now been trumped by the latest state law.

Look to the area north west of airport. Brighton, unincorporated Adams county, Reunion area.

I work in DIA and live in Aurora 80017 (Arapahoe County). It's an alright spot being in the middle of everything. When I say middle of everything... Places to shoot and Race tracks.

Welcome and enjoy! [Beer]

So is Denver's 20 round limit regardless if you owned it before X date or is it 20 round limit period? If that's the case Denver law trumps the states 15 because I can still own all the 30 rounders I had before per that law.

^^^ I would advise getting clarification on this. ^^^

It is my understanding that you are not allowed to possess 20+ capacity magazines in City & County of Denver, regardless of prior possession. The new state law would grandfather in your 16 to 20 rd capacity magazines in C&C of Denver, but 20+ is still forbidden.

Just my understanding of it, but I wear steel-toed boots and safety glasses everyday, not a suit and tie.

Thanks everyone. I'll probably leave my mags in AZ at a friends and get new ones until this mess is finally worked out. At least you'll have another pro Second Amendment voter on board.

Thanks everybody! Very relieved there's no awb, can't believe google. Hopefully we can vote things back to normal in the future. AZ has spoiled me with open carry and carry concealed without a permit (you can get one but don't need one). I don't open carry but it's nice to put a .380 in my pocket and go without someone seeing it. Texas had a failure to conceal law which always made me nervous.
