My friend, his 17rd magazines, and a trip to Colorado

My out-of-state friend calls and says to me...

Friend: I haven't been out to Colorado in years to see you. How about I come out and visit?
Me: That'd be great! What would you like to do while you're out here?
Friend: Among other things, I'd like to go shooting. What guns to you have that we can shoot?

I run through my list of guns to include my Glock 17 with 10rd magazines.

Friend: Maybe I'll bring out my 17rd and 33rd Glock magazines so we don't have to reload as often.
Me: You do know that Colorado now has a >15rd magazine capacity law don't you?
Friend: I read about that but that doesn't affect me.
Me: No it doesn't. Get me your flight information so I know when to pick you up from the airport.

You're not needing 10 rd mags to be compliant since they are pre 7/1/2013 mfg.

My Glock 17 was purchased in early 2004 and came with (2) 10rd magazines. I am a poor planner and did not think ahead to purchase any 17rd magazines prior to today.

He's good to go if he owned them before today.

So what you are trying to say is. It would be a shame if he left his.

[facepalm]for being a poor planner.

and double [fail] for actually writing that on the internet.

You should ask him to bring the ones that you bought last month and accidentally left at his house.

My thoughts...

Him putting his mags in your gun seems fine.
Him then handing the gun/mag combo to you crosses the line for both of you.
Sharing the gun is OK (per 1229) sharing the mags is not (per 1224).

Do you see it this way ?

What "bonehead" passes laws like this anyway ?[facepalm]

People who have never shot a gun before...which makes it all the more upsetting that they are the ones passing the laws.
