    Still unsure why anyone NOT a Resident of Denver is bothering to do anything other than drive through there.
    Although not a resident, I do have family living in Denver and avoiding the area is not an option.
    Back to the point:
    I have read, in relation to the old "Denver assault weapon ban", of confiscations of 30 rounds magazines inside Denver County from non-Denver Co residents.
    SUPPOSEDLY, the firearms were also confiscated, falling under the OLD assault weapon definition (a firearm with magazines that accepted more than 20 rounds), and the vehicle seized.
    Although not being a resident was indeed to be considered affirmative defense against the charges, the owner had to surrender the weapon in order to get the case dropped, the vehicle returned and avoid a costly legal battle.
    How much of this is true, remains to be seen, but it did give me pause.
    If somebody has better information I would love to hear more about it, maybe someone with a better Google-Fu than myself could help?

    I know this isn?t the better information you were asking about but I?m just going to toss out my two cents.

    If you absolutely, positively feel you must arm yourself while in Denver but fear of having your shit confiscated or your vehicle impounded is a genuine concern for you then why not simply choose a firearm that is more socially acceptable in Denver and just be done with it?

    In other words, rather than trying to interpret their bullshit laws and then jump through hoops doing silly things like modifying magazines or whatever, why not just take a decent handgun or if you insist on a long gun perhaps a nice lever action rifle or maybe a pump action shotgun?

    Must travel through Denver Co to get to my rifle range.
    Anyways, for those who may be wondering, acetone did it.
    I am happy to report that Pmags are impervious to it.
    The mag blocks, however, not so much...
