Boulder AR-15 Ban

None. The parasitic mass (known as californians) that has moved across the country destroying every freedom in it's path. Is destined for a town council seat near you.

I came across a couple two weeks ago.

"We are from LA and just moved here. We're locals now"

No the fawk you are not. You are the problem. Go back home.

Got a funny look.

No disrespect, and I realize that phrase is merely parroting something that has been said for nearly a century about almost every university town in the country. However, I'll step up and be the bearer of sad news: the recent gun control push in Boulder, including last night, was years after many of us stood at the capitol, wrote countless letters and made untold numbers of phone calls trying to prevent the statewide gun control laws that were enacted in 2013. If the rest of CO resembled the laws in Wyoming/South Carolina/et al, I'd grant you some validity to a phrase that is as worn out as "sorry your gal lost", but the "reality" is that Colorado laws aren't trending toward the idealistic freedom-loving West that many may have once known. This state is rapidly becoming California 2.0 and while I'm not happy about that, that, is the reality.

I'm trying to do what I can on my end, but pushing an incoming tide is omminous.

Good post!

Boulder, CO; 26 square miles surrounded by reality.

In general yes, that is the truth.. as well as the Village Coffee Shop is 890sqft surrounder by Boulder.

Boulder is an enigma. Yes it's a liberal bastion but in reality I have met tons of pro gun 2A people here. Boulder may lean left but at the same time the core is very classic liberal in terms of personal freedoms, independence, and big government stay out of my life.

In the last 10 years the Californians have taken over a bit but there has been push back. Googles new building had bricks thrown through a few of the windows a couple weeks ago and now a few of the new Council Members are finding out that the locals as liberal as they are aren't going to take this without a fight.

I know a Council member personally so I have a connection that can't ignore me as.if Inwas blasting out a random email. This member was disappointed by the lack of knowledge that the city attorney displayed last night.

The City Attorney May be the best friend we have, clearly there were those that were not impressed, I also have it on good authority that he is not highly regarded amongst his peers

Yeah, if he would be the one representing Boulder he would be torn apart in a minute.

Despite what the rest the country thinks, Texas gun laws are a bit shit.

Yeah, Texas is not what people think.. Texas sold off all their public land decades ago. There is very little to no public shooting areas as in National Forest, BLM or State public hunting grounds.

Inhave looked into moving to Texas, I have good friends in New Braunfels. When you look at public land in Texas it is pretty bleak.

Grew up in TX. The only place a citizen could shoot was at a private range. Luckily I knew private land holders and could shoot on their property. Shooting areas are shrinking around here but still more options than what I grew up with.

I haven't been to a range since I moved here, but I have 20 acres... There is a state law that with at least 10 acres, the county can't make a law forbidding you from shooting as long as you keep it on your property.

But yes, not a lot of public land to be mismanaged and then catch fire... (public lands have disadvantages, too.)
The whole needing an LTC to open carry a handgun is BS for sure... but an improvement over verboten. Property rights take precident, but in Rural areas 30.06 signs are rare... 30.07 aren't so rare (open carry ban)

FTF sales are still private, no mag limits...
