That doesn't seem especially heinous. It is making criminal investigators in the division certified with the peace officers standards and training board.

Even ignoring the fact this is vs firearms, this is a hell-fucking-no. Any time you do this, you create exclusive-jurisdiction for power-tripping wanna-be cops, and quite problematically, there's not many of them.Quote:
giving them the ability to carry weapons, conduct investigations, and make arrests
This is the same as giving a lone mall-cop exclusive jurisdiction to arrest anyone in his mall, "investigate them" - resulting in tons of criminal charges, and oh yeah, give them a gun. And oh yeah, local law enforcement can't intervene in Mall cop's jurisdiction.
The state CAN work with local law enforcement. But they don't want pesky Sheriffs getting in the way, they want Team 'Rado Space force to roll in there with their purple haired trans unit driving five bearcats.
This is not the bill that created the positions. That was 24-1353.
That was the heinous expansion of powers. It created a new division of government and layered double licensing and taxation on FFLs. It should be repealed and the division disbanded.
This is making sure the officers that bill (now law) created are P.O.S.T.-board-certified. It does not change or expand their legal authority.
Having every law enforcement officer required to operate under the same standards is not an infringement on second amendment rights.
Found out today that a second friend of mine that's an FFL is throwing in the towel and moving out of state.
One to Oklahoma and one to Texas.
Democrats: Mission Accomplished! :(

Any useless unnecessary regulation or .gov control/oversight is heinous.
Both 24-1353 and 25-1314 accomplish nothing for the citizenry and endanger and restrict our freedom.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
I believe the leftists in the state capital are purposely driving good people out of the state. I recently learned a couple families will be moving out of state as well. One family owns and operates a small trucking business and feels they are in a good position to expand but not under Colorado's laws. They are planning on moving to Oklahoma. Another works in gas and oil. That industry took a major hit over the last few years. The family managed to survive the cuts but even if regulations are eased under the new administration, local public sentiment has changed to the point many people see the writing on the wall as far as extractive industries here. They plan on moving to Texas.
This is what was going on in California forty years ago. The law makers seem to be fast tracking the "progress" in Colorado to match the business climate there without much cognizance of the current condition of that state. This is about a lot more than guns.
The gunshops that are willing to stay and play the game will have a huge customer pool.
