For crying out loud, people. Do you really think Colorado law enforcement agents are going to be lurking inside gun stores in WY and other states watching for CO residents who are buying magazines? Really? Do you think they're going to be talking into hidden mics in their sleeves reporting Colorado residents buying magazines who are then heading back into the state? FFS...
... so who's going? :)

Thank you you always seem to be a voice of reason around here, I think CSP has alot of other things to worry about.
Bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
mtnhack, you are not understanding my point at all. And frankly, its getting annoying.
I don't care if you go to Wyoming and buy 15+ round magazines. I don't care if you bring them back to Colorado. I don't even think that its very likely you'll get caught. (Don't think the chance is zero because you never know when some clown in CSP decides to make a name for himself).
I think that its inappropriate for Jensen to imply that its legal to do so. I've already seen people ask in gun forums if they could do this very thing. If people want to take the apparently low risk - I want them to be doing so knowingly. Not fooled into thinking its legal.
I think its unlikely but not impossible. You never know when some CSP clown might think he's going to make brownie points with Hickenlooper / Bloomberg and get his name in the news. I think its more likely that someone gets stopped on the way back for an ordinary traffic violation and the CSP trooper decides the person needs an attitude adjustment and provides it by shaking the car down and just happens to find magazines.Quote:

I was in law enforcement for most of the 10 years the 94 Crime Bill was in effect. Not once...NEVER...did I hear of a local officer or state trooper enforce any provision of that law or refer someone to the feds for prosecution. Not saying it didn't happen but I think it was probably pretty rare.
I think for most officers, unless a gun (and related items like magazines) is used in an obvious crime like robbery, murder, assault or it's stolen, things like magazine capacity just aren't on their radar.
For the most part I think people are way overthinking this whole thing.
But that's just my opinion and experience.
So don't go. And, I guess, don't patronize Jensen Arms. I am sure if asked about the actual laws, any of their employees would gladly disseminate all pertinent information to anyone wanting to know. They are not trying to fool anyone.Quote:
