Denver assault weapon ban

[bellavite1]

Hello everybody,I just stumbled on this web site and it looks like something I should join,so here I am!
I am going to start up with a question:I have just found out that there is ,or hopefully there used to be, a Denver ban on magazines of capacity bigger than 20 rnds.
Is it still in effect?
Does it apply to Denver Co only or to the Denver metro area (i.e. Jefferson CO)?
Among the penalties for owning (or even driving through Denver) with a 30 rnds. magazine is the confiscation and (ugh!) destruction of the rifle.
Is it true?
Sorry for duplicating the post from my new member introduction,but this is way too important and I need the info.
Thanks for your help.

Denver residents only. You are fine in Jefferson County. Just today in another thread someone posted that if you aren't a resident in Denver, you can drive through with your assult weapon, but I personally haven't seen the language on that one.

It is not a given that they confiscate the rifle, many people just choose that route in lieu of fines or whatever.

Here is what I found regarding travel through Denver.

(e) Possession of assault weapons unlawful. It shall be unlawful to
carry, store, keep, manufacture, sell or otherwise possess within the City and
County of Denver a weapon or weapons defined herein as assault weapons, except
that this subdivision shall not apply to:

members of said agencies acting within their official capacities.

(2) Any assault weapon which is being used as a movie prop for any
motion picture or television program which is being filmed in whole
or in part within the City and County of Denver if, prior to such
use, the police department is notified in advance in writing of the
date, time, location, production schedule and days upon which such
use shall take place and the type and serial numbers of the
firearms.

(3) The transportation of any assault weapon through the city by a
nonresident who is in legal possession of an assault weapon or a
