Some highlights...

Raising the age limit for purchasing firearms from 18 to 21


This is already the law in Boulder, but the code language needs updated, city officials said.


Nationally, it is illegal for 18-20 year olds to purchase handguns from licensed dealers. They may buy them from private parties.


Instituting a 10-day waiting period for firearm purchases


The 10-day period would begin once a background check is initiated, according to city language. Many exemptions are included: for law enforcement and military but also for transfers between licensed sellers, transport, repair, etc.


Prohibition on open carry


This would ban the carrying of visible firearms in public places, except for in a vehicle, locked case or with a concealed carry permit. As with many other proposals, exemptions for military members and law enforcement are included.


Disallowing concealed carry in "sensitive" areas


Open and concealed carry would be banned in city buildings; public parks; playgrounds; city recreation and/or community centers; protests held on public property; within 500 feet of ballot counting or polling places; at "licensed premises for alcohol sellers" such as bars or liquor stores; hospitals; mental health or substance abuse treatment centers; stadiums or arenas; banks; theaters; day care centers and preschools. This would not apply to firearms in vehicles, a form of concealed carry under some laws. Places of worship could be exempt from the concealed carry ban, if they so choose.

[Essentially everywhere a citizen goes in conducting daily business.]



Banning "ghost" guns

Guns without a serial number would not be allowed in Boulder, with exemptions for antiques or any firearm manufactured before Oct. 22, 1968, when federal authorities began requiring serial numbers on new guns.

Nice that the pic in the article is a Magpul mag.

This just sounds never ending.

This is rich...

Though not included in Tuesday’s presentation, city council members requested a specific exemption for private security guards.

“In today’s world,” councilman Mark Wallach said, “there are institutions that may want to have a meaningful security presence.”

Hey Mark- Do you think that just maybe such a thought process also includes armed citizens and their families who are in public?

[wctriumph]

Without any preemption law the next couple of years should be downright terrifying …

More gun free zones equals more death of innocent children!!

Just the continued Californication of the state.

Its been coming for a long time but eventually we?ll catch up with the west coast.

[Gman]

The lefties in CO are running left so fast and so hard they're trying to beat the west coast to the punch in some cases.

Pray for overreach....





....while Scotus is 6 - 3 (F.U. Roberts)

Sigh... I just wonder what problem this is solving. Are there a lot of murders committed using a "ghost gun?" Are a lot of crimes committed by individuals who are concealed carrying in city parks? Couldn't we maybe look at some data first? Like try to solve the actual problem?

[Gman]

How many times do we hear about felons who aren't supposed to be in possession of firearms committing crimes with...firearms? Yeah, a couple more laws will fix those lawless bastidges.

It's not about controlling the crime. It's not about controlling the guns. It's about controlling the people.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

The bars thing is what always gets me. Been legal here since the start of CCW, and what kind of problem has it been. Pre-schools too. WTFudge.

Theaters? If you think I'm going into one of those kill boxes unarmed, you are on crack.

Can't wait for Denver to lower the bar further.... going for ghost guns now.

Agree on SCOTUS- get off your asses and sanctify ARs and 30rounders to start off. Plus the NY case that is pending will go a long ways towards these stupid CCW restrictions.

Eventually, these morons are going to run out of things to ban and then they will have to address the real cause of violence..
