Assault Weapons Ban?

[1Gungurl]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and will soon be new to Colorado. After doing some reading about Colorado gun laws I saw something that stated there is an active "assault weapons" ban ( which we all understand that our weapons are not assault rifles but that is what the gun grabbers want to call our AR 15's, AR 10's, AK 47's etc.My question is about this ban. First, Is there a ban? If so, is it only in Denver? I'm planning on moving to Parker and I'm hoping this ridiculous ban is not applicable to Parker, Colorado.

Denver only has a magazine limit of 20 rounds. There is no real "assault weapons ban", yet.

Where are you know, Henderson NV? Right now its only Denver, soon to be state wide it looks like. 15rd limit or something.

Right now there is a mag ban within the city limits of Denver. We are currently dealing with proposed legislation on state wide mag limitations, universal background checks and outlawing concealed carry on college campuses. Parker is gtg, for now. Oh and welcome to colorado! I grew up in Parker. It is growing fast.

Yes I live in Henderson, NV but will be moving to Colorado soon. Thanks everyone for the quick responses.

Its not as bad as Clark county even in the city of denver, no registration yet. But if the universal background checks pass it wont be long
Welcome to CO, but I would reccomend WY or TX.

Welcome. If you make it to Parker, there are several members here that would be happy to take you out to our favorite range to shoot. BLGC.ORG

We are feverishly battling four bills. Mag limits, universal background checks, repeal of campus carry, and BGC fees. Many threads in the politics forum.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong here but from what I know the City of Denver (or is the county?) has a ban in effect for some time now that bans rifles that liberals refer to as Assault Weapons and this includes magazines over 20 rounds.

I also understand that if DPD catches you with one, you will go to jail and be arrested. Then after a few hours they give you the option of being released if you turn over your rifle to them. From what I have heard, I guess if you take this whole thing to court it has cost people several thousands of dollars (not to mention the hassle and all the time wasted) but the charges usually get dropped and in the end you can keep your rifle but it may cost you ten grand.

Personally, I think it is a matter of time before the dems try and expand this ban into the rest of the state. After all, I did hear several of the Dems that testified last week saying that "this ban on high cap mags is a good start". Sounds to me like Rhonda Fields could probably make any kind of gun law she wants and the rest of her crew in charge will pass anything the way our state government is made up right now... Hopefully I am wrong!

Welcome to the site and to the state when you get here.

Denver has pretty well stopped confiscating "assault weapons" from people just traveling thru the city. The 20 round mag ban is still in effect there but for the most part they don't enforce it on people traveling thru either.
