I understand that the southwest corner of the state will get ~3 feet of snow above 10,000 feet. Since Senator Ellen Roberts (R - Durango) is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a co-sponsor of SB 15-175, it's probably best that we schedule the hearing on that bill before her committee on a day that we know that she can be there. :-)
It's not for the dozens of legislators who live in the metro Denver area, it's for the hundreds of thousands of constituents who live in areas that are receiving WAY more snow that we are here in the metro area and to assure that their Senators can get to the Capitol to represent them.
I'll post here when I know when SB 15-175 will be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Be safe and keep warm.
Thanks for the update, Senator!

The snow has a better chance of stopping crime than those laws do. I hope it goes through this time.
Thanks Holbert!
According to this article http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27...pacity-gun-ban "There have been nine citations and no convictions since the law went into effect, she said." Anyone know anything about these citations and if they were thrown out, or still pending, what the circumstances were, etc.?
"That didn't placate the Aspen crowd. Blanca O'Leary, an Aspen resident, said the multi-round weapons are unnecessary and a key ingredient in mass murders that have occurred in Colorado.
"We are the capital of massacres in this state," she said."
I would like to know if this statement can be cited? None of it is the truth. Subjective truth maybe but isn't true at all.
Since when does the truth play any part in legislating an agenda?Quote:

I'll answer my own question: They have an agenda, that's how...
This is amusing to read, and painful at the same time. http://www.aspendailynews.com/section/home/165765

Senator Cooke (former sheriff) has the list. They're tack-on charges to crimes committed while in possession of a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds. Apparently, one of the nine is an error by law enforcement or a district attorney entering an incorrect statute code. Thus, the total is apparently eight, not nine. The charge under CRS § 18-12-3 (mag ban) can be a misdemenaor or, if related to a crime of violence committed while in possession of a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds, a felony. Contact Senator Cooke if you'd like more information… or wait for the hearing in Senate Judiciary Committee.
Are pre July'13 mags still encumbered with this tack-on nonsense?Quote:

I don't know about everyone else, but I have lot of "evil"mags that are not date coded, or indentifiable as to date of manufacture at all, so how can this stupid law be enforced??
Live under rocks much? This point has been argued from day one....Quote:

Its busy work meant to burn out or keep busy the types of people that like these things. Keeps you from complaining about real problems.
The only thing it doesn't do (even though it was rapped in the polished up shiny wrapping paper of safety) is make anyone safer.
NEW HEARING DATE
Senate Bill 15-175 to repeal the "mag ban," will be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, March 9, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. in Committee Room 271. The new committee room is located between the elevators on the second floor of the Capitol Building. The plan as of today is to have only that one bill on the calendar. We hope to have as little waiting as possible for those who wish to testify in favor of the bill. Proponents (those who support repeal) will testify first.
If you wish to contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, then please consider saying "Thank you" to Senators Roberts, Lundberg, and Cooke who are all co-sponsors of the bill. They already support the bill, there is no need to urge, strongly urge or plead with them to support the bill because THEY ALREADY DO. However, I can testify how rare and appreciated a "thank you for supporting the bill" email can be to a legislator.

Please also note that Senator Cooke is my co-prime sponsor. The two of us will present the bill to the committee.
Thank you for your time and effort to repeal the ineffective and insulting "mag ban."
Thank you, SenHolbert for the update.
Is there a reason for this sarcastic comment?

Well rock me to sleep, I guess I'm unaware. No offense was intended.
Remote testimony is a new service being offered this year. It's available from Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction and from Otero Junior College in La Junta. Guidelines for remote testimony are provided at the top of Page 4 in the following document:
http://tinyurl.com/pu3mdn2
Remote testimony will be available for the upcoming hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is scheduled for Monday, March 9 at 1:30 p.m., Room 271, second floor of the Capitol. SB 15-175 is the only bill scheduled and proponents (those in favor of repeal of the "mag ban") will testify first.
I wish I could remote testify from work!
