Unintended consequences of CO new gun laws

[Ranger353]

Short answer: Wanna fix this..... Change the laws.

November is coming shortly.

Amen. Stop whining and get your family, friends, and neighbors out to vote in November and get those SOBs out of office.

Agreed that this was entirely intentional. Lanza had 10 round mags. They know that it stops nothing, and it is just another way to restrict your options. Infringement in other words.

Lanza had 30rd mags. He only shot about half the ammo in them before changing mags.

Here is an unintended consequence... I had originally planned on purchasing an AR chambered in .22 and was saving up for it around the time these laws arrived. Well, just like the original poster, I couldn't find one online that would sell me one and couldn't find anything in the local stores so one day I was at Wal-Mart diong a milk run and saw a Sig AR in 5.56 that came with a 10 round mag. After thinking about it, and how I had tons of 30 round mags already, I just went for another real AR. Take that Rap Sheet Rhonda!

Glad I did, it's a great rifle and had all the magpul goodies on it. Looking back, getting a .22 would have been pointless anyway.

I'll be fair and say Bud's was courteous about the whole thing, and they do have some AR's you can still buy that are not specifically CA legal but do ship with 10 rd mags. I'm already doing everything I can to convince more people to vote the right way this fall.

Same adventure for me. Now I'm glad I didn't buy a .22 AR as the ammo continues to be ridiculous and a PITA.

I know it's a trip for most people, but DragonMan's in CO Springs says he can order anything for cost + small fee and give legal mags instead of illegal mags.

Yup, he sells them online out of state. It's good business from what he said.

I was under the impression he didnt ship?

For magazines that would be illegal here is probably his only exception.
