I thought you had to both own the magazines AND have them in your possession IN Colorado before the ban to be legal?

Yeah you can't bring them in no matter how old they are. Article said he was from Bama so that means he is visiting here on vacation or something along those lines.
Question is did he use 30 rounders or did he use 15 rounders that were not enough and he had to use a second rifle to defend himself?
If he used 30 rounders, I would like to see DougCo Sheriff come out and say that they are not enforcing that law and they sent the guy on his way.
Either way, this adds to the proof of how stupid the mag law is.
I've been searching for the passed version of 13-1224 and don't see a geographical requirement.

I'd like to know too, but we can only assume the mags were believed to be in compliance or illegal and DougCo doesn't care about the mag ban. If illegal, it is was either intentionally ignored or is "professional courtesy" (which doesn't exist for retirees in the law).Quote:
24 (2) (a) A PERSON MAY POSSESS A LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE IF
25 HE OR SHE:
26 (I) OWNS THE LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE ON THE EFFECTIVE
27 DATE OF THIS SECTION; AND
-3- 1224
(II) MAINTAINS 1 CONTINUOUS POSSESSION OF THE LARGE-CAPACITY
2 MAGAZINE.
If illegal and anyone else in the state cares to investigate/prosecute they are messaging they wanted the BG to continue his rampage unimpeded and re-opening the conversation about citizens being able to overwhelm with force (capacity). This would be interesting. But the solution to restoring gun rights in CO is likely legal and not democratic (Denver/Boulder) so I'm not sure what good the discussion would do.
I'm wondering if this guy had stopped the problem with a few bottle rockets to the face and arm, if the conversion would be more, or less, surrounding the legality of his methods.
Note to self:
Wasn't worth it.
