That's not exactly correct. Colorado law does not necessarily "end" at the border. The scope of jurisdiction of a state's laws is far far more complex than that. But its irrelevant to the question of the thread, which is whether or not a Colorado resident can transfer those magazines to an out of state resident (note that an FFL can), and by a strict reading of the text, the answer is no, a Colorado resident may not. And Colorado can certainly regulate the conduct of its residents, especially within the borders of Colorado.

buckshotbarlow, its not clear what you think you are referring to. As to whether someone located out of state could be prosecuted under Colorado law e.g., the magazine ban, it depends on the specific facts. You have heard of extradition, haven't you?

Agreeing with buckshotbarlow on this one. There is no extradition without arrest so who again is arresting someone outside of Colorado for a Colorado law?

I think spqrzilla's point is that you CAN be prosecuted under Colorado law despite committing the "crime" outside Colorado. Colorado law enforcement can request arrest and extradition from authorities in other states -- that's pretty standard. The chances of Colorado going to those extremes over you selling or giving a high capacity magazine to a citizen of another state where said item is legal are probably pretty slim and you could always appeal for asylum but it's within the state's legal powers and the contention, "Colorado law, ends at the border though...WY,NE,KS,NM,UT,OK will not enforce CO law inside of their borders..." is patently false.
Start reading up on my quote from my first post. Yes, it is now illegal for any person in Colorado to sell a magazine over 15 rounds anywhere by the way the law is written. I really is the simple! What happens if you do? more then likely nothing but it is still illegal if you enter Colorado ever again citizen or not. There are no work arounds of the law if you are in Colorado even if it was done out of state or even if you are not a resident of the state. Keep believing you are a free man if you want but as long as you are in Colorado it is illegal. Do you want this madness to end, then donate to Kopel's and the sheriff's law suit.
I suppose the next thing will be that if you make a permanent move out of the great State of Colorado to a State where high capacity mags are perfectly legal, you won't be able to take em along with you.
