According to federal law (18 U.S.C.A. § 922(d)(1)) and/or state law (CRS 18-12-108), the transfer of a firearm to a person who has been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment/probation for a term exceeding one year is prohibited, regardless of whether the crime was a felony or a misdemeanor.

I’m looking for informal private firearms instruction in North Denver. Recommendations for pistol/red dot. Would like someone who has real world tactical and practical experience. TIA

Looks like we are on our own unless there is some other date for this session. Disappointing but not surprising. I was hoping that at least the injunction relief case would make it through so we could prevent the state from appealing and getting to enforce the law while waiting on appeal.

WHEN: Saturday, January 18 from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

WHERE: Standley Lake Library (8485 Kipling Street, Arvada, CO, 80005)

Please respectfully call for Daughtrey to rescind her sponsorship of SB25-003 and encourage Bird and Ferret not to support the bill.

I haven't been in 5 years.. Is it rough, every day of the week?

Last time I went it was trashed, people were shooting in all directions and I felt very sketched out by some of the "patrons"

In my opinion Mark is one of the best allies to our 2A movement and he is always way ahead of the curve in knowing where things will go next. His predictions in regard to the Supreme Court have almost always come true in the last few years. I hope he's right, and that the SCOTUS is seeing what's happening to us, and takes it as the nudge they needed to grant cert in one of or even all 4 of the pending 2A cases. I'm glad our state is getting a lot of attention for this right now or I doubt it'd make a difference at all. Either way, keep making noise and calling and writing to the people in charge to show that this is not okay.

Can I buy standard capacity mags off of GAFS?

Or will one or both of us get in trouble if found out?

I keep seeing good deals for AR and Glock 17 magazines but don't know if I can buy them.

Save upper reciever and other parts for later..

New to guns, started shooting last year. Have a g19.5 / MP shield plus and just bought a mav 88 shotgun.

Was wondering if this subreddit thinks its time i pick up an AR- i have a little less then id like to spend - in that 600 range. Radical /Anderson options

Do we think this might get legs?

EDIT: appreciate all the advice, will be ordering a few Anderson ghost lowers and building out 1 now

Gray v Jennings, Snope v Brown, and Ocean State Tactical v Rhode Island are all on conference today at the Supreme Court.

Each of these cases deals with issues we are facing or are dealing with as law here in Colorado:

• Gray deals with Delaware's prohibition on "High Capacity Magazines"

• Snope deals with Maryland's Assault Weapons Ban which mimics what our state Senate has just proposed

• Ocean State Tactical also deals with magazine bans, but focuses more on the confiscation of them once a ban has been enacted (i.e. do magazines have to be grandfathered in)

• Maryland Shall Issue v Moore deals with concealed carry permit requirements and what is considered excessive. Currently one of the few guidelines is that requirements must be objectively defined, not subjective (like needs or some proof of character based requirements)

I think it is unlikely that all 3 make it in, but I do believe that at least 2 will make it through due to there being a lot of overlap between the various issues. The supreme Court doesn't usually make wide rulings, but they have been making rulings less narrow than usual lately.

If you believe in a higher power, now would be a good time to start praying, and even if you don't.

Edit: added Maryland Shall Issue v Moore and some formatting change for ease of reading.

They will likely attempt to ban online ammo sales or have ammo shipped to an FFL and have us do a background check every single time, amongst gun insurance and other things.

REMIND YOUR FRIENDS AND OTHERS, The assault weapons ban/ fixed magazine bill doubles as a cover for the other bills they want.

PLEASE do not only focus on one bill, this is want they are hoping for, they want everyone to be hyper focused, the excise tax didn’t get enough attention as it should have, ALL THESE BILLS MATTER- they plan on destroying 2A by a thousand cuts.

I’m wondering what the current options are for FFL transfers in the foco area? I’ve used U.S.A. Liberty Arms a bunch in the past, but I believe their new fee + background check is ~ $52, which is a bit more than I’d like to spend.

For some reason, most local shops don’t advertise their transfer fees, so rather than making a bunch of phone calls I figured I would see if some of ya’ll know of any good, local options?

Been a Floridian, and Texan most my life.

Moving to CO to help my wife develop her career.

Well, I see you guys have high capacity laws. I see you guys may have that weird California locked magazine crap coming soon.

Again, being a Floridian I'm pretty ignorant on gun regulations as I can just buy whatever I want.

Does the burden on proof fall on CO fun owners regarding the age of your high capacity magazines?

For example.

I have a Springfield hellcat (original) I don't recall when I purchased that. I believe after 2013.

Would the burden fall on me to prove that, or would the CO district attorney try to carbon date my steel magazines.

I'm being satirical of course, but what are so not so obvious gun regulations I should be aware of?

Should I buy my zastava m70 before driving up to CO?

I am outraged at this deceitful attempt by our so called "representatives" to neuter and neutralize you and I by silent ambush. This putrid act should absolutely enrage everyone in this state regardless of political affiliation.

My family has been here since before the Revolution and many of my family members fought in the Revolutionary war. This is a disgrace to my family and what my family fought for, a disgrace to our heritage, our constitution, and a disgrace to the blood of our ancestors that dyes this land in their love and imbues it with the very strength and dignity that came from their ultimate sacrifice.

Its this very blood that is the cornerstone of the United States and the shrine of its Constitution and these witless, spineless fools would take to defecating on this sacred foundation with reckless disregard for the highest law which is the thing that shapes, forms, and defines this great nation.

They would elect to take our power and build their own because their fear outweighs their love for this nation. They would sooner destroy the very definition of this nation out of fear and greed than elect to better the lives of the citizens they serve.

Im not sitting through this shit anymore, and I sincerely hope you all will stand with me.

EDIT for clarity for the idiots:

This means organize protests, contact your reps, and spread awareness. This needs to be settled.

Interesting that whenever those who hate this nation get passionate and loud about their views, people cheer and celebrate.

When someone who loves their nation and wants to protect it gets passionate and loud about their views, people think they're insane, about to get violent, or just a psyop.

Nothing I said was indicative of any violence. If you think "Im not sitting through this shit anymore, and I sincerely hope you all will stand with me" is a call to violence–not political action–then you're absolutely insane.

Communists in this country can outright say "down with america" and no one bats an eye, but when I say im not putting up with their distortion of the constitution, you pathetic soybeans lose your mind.

You can find your reps there. Write a short simple email urging them to vote no on and resist any and all upcoming legislation that would restrict what little firearms freedoms we have left in this state.

If your representative is sponsoring the new assault weapons ban tell them they should be ashamed of themselves.

So I’ve already got a complete rifle and I’ve got an extra lower. I need an upper to complete my second rifle. I’m looking for anywhere in Colorado or eastern Utah that sells complete upper receivers in-store. Not online. If that’s even possible anymore. Prefer to inspect in person. If anyone knows a place please let me know.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Colorado legislative session start’s January 8th. There has already been some talk about an “assault weapons ban”, purchasing/possession limit bill, and a red flag expansion bill. We need to take it upon ourselves these next few months to contact our representatives, get family and friends involved ,and stay vigilant and active.

I also want to remind people that when contacting representatives make sure to stay respectful but also firm and unapologetic, there have been some bad actors that make all of us look bad.

Hope we can fight all these unconstitutional bills together!

These guys were a great resource in keeping up with the nitty gritty of the legislative session last year and I'm sure they'll be worth listening to this time around. I just thought I'd share a link to their videos/channel so that anyone who wants a direct Colorado source for this type of info could know about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7bLkKtG9FI

They also have a newsletter/website for their organization which they talk about in this video in case anyone is interested in supporting them. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I do believe they're good people and that they're worth supporting if you want to.

I know not gun related. But I figured this community would be the ones to ask. Looking to add some IFAK kits to all of my vehicles. Mostly due to a little one being born soon. Does not need to be the most in depth kit possible. I have found a few through Amazon for around 50$. Mostly looking to have simple stuff included. Is it worth picking them up? Or building my own kit to be more personalized for what I need?

I haven’t bought a gun since the waiting period was forced on us, and the entire idea of it pisses me off. So my question is, could I go to say Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma (free states) and purchase a long gun there without having to go through the waiting period?

Just became a gun owner at 21 years old, owning a Glock 43x. I'm aware of new laws that make it harder to have a handgun stored in your car, I was looking at the Kwick Strike but I thought I'd come to the Colorado gun professionals and ask. For easy access to my handgun, what do you guys suggest?
