Discussion for all the internet lawyers regarding possible mag limits and state lines.

[brutal]

Fireworks that shoot in the air or explode are illegal in colorado yet i see tons of them around the 4th of july.

Nice first thread repsonse completely off topic. Then the following replies go full retard about fireworks.

I speed every time I cross the state line.

Seriously though, if they happened to find some mags in your car during a search, I'm not sure how they could prove a damn thing as far as where and when you bought them. Maybe if a mag had a date stamp on it from after the ban they could bust you? Depends on how the final law is written I suppose.

Speeding is illegal in every state. Don't ever consent to a search. Yea, I know they have BS ways to trick you or made up reasonable cause, but the first defense is to never consent to a search.

welp, a few years ago here in Tennessee, there was a big tax hike on cigarettes. so high, that it drove people to the point of driving up to Bowling Green and even as far as Paducah in search of cheaper prices on carton's of cigarettes. They would buy several cartons and go back to Tennessee. TN Dept of Revenue soon caught on that this was going on (not sure how, probably someone ratting on people), and they started staking out these people and gas stations across the border. They'd go monitor gas stations and what not and have people in the stores as "customers", who would radio outside to the unit, that unit was usually in a completely unmarked and plain vehicle with normal TN tags on it, and that would guy would call ahead on a cell phone to a trooper sitting on the TN border side with description of the person, plate and tag #, the trooper would then pull over the unsuspecting offender, and arresting them! in some cases, seizing their freaking cars!

Colorado can hire "civilian informants" to go follow people across the border and report back what they are doing. Since a "civilian" reporting something bypasses and circumvents many search and seizure laws and requirements for a warrant, this could get quite nasty in the future, if these laws are passed and put into effect.

That's about lost tax revenue, and our governments are always looking for ways to jack the average taxpayer. How would Colorado fund a program to prevent a hollow piece of plastic from illegally entering the state?

I've "heard" of folks getting busted doing fireworks runs .. but that only seems to happen very close to the 4th of july..... go buy them in march .. no issue..

I doubt CSP can afford the man power to keep up 365 days a year.

This is part of the problem enforcing it, where do the funds come from to do so?

Holy hell, how many mags do you people need to last the rest of your life? Mags aren't like fireworks or a fifth of Everclear, they last a lot longer than one range session. I'm sure any CO resident would be able to amass a 100+ PMAGs between now and 07.01.13 if that's what they want to do.

Miss the "Hypothetical" part? I don't need the mags, I'm more interested in the legality of the topic.

penalties and fines if they catch folks?
tack on a $1 enforcement fee on every sale of a firearm?
start a fear campaign that we cannot afford to enforce our laws and raise taxes (much like the school fear campaign).


plenty of ways to find money for law enforcement.
