Hey folks, I recently moved from TX where I had plenty of great outdoor ranges to choose from. I’m looking to brush up on my tactical/competition shooting out here but looks like there’s a lot of indoor options which I haven’t been keen on after my first and second time shooting (in general).

I’m looking for a good outdoor range with bays that would be good to set up my own targets and get some real practice in. Also looking for places with better gun safety practices versus a lot of the place that people often flag. Also feel free to DM if you’re trying to keep a place more preserved from improper shooters. I’m willing to drive about 1 hr out from a solid range.

Hey guys, I’m moving to Denver from Texas soon and am having trouble finding any sort of state law that says one way or the other if a landlord can ban firearms. Would appreciate any guidance that you may have.

i managed to broach the topic of guns with a coworker that im on good terms with, and gave him the scoop on whats currently going on. he asked me to give him the deets, and he'll join our fight, and try to get some of his circle involved.

Anyone know any cool pawn shops or fun stores between Denver that have a decent selection of antique/surplus guns? Looking for a cool wall hanger.

I love guns and have some background in the industry, but with family and low income, I never got to spend money on an AR15. Planning on spending some tax return money on a new one.

I love quality and would love a HK or DD but just wondering what other quality brands are out there. Maybe slightly more affordable 😬

Got a response from the SS office about how a recall of an appointee would work FWIW. Would be good to see a group with funding *cough* get this going/back it/etc.

If you have not subscribed to “we the second”. I highly encourage it since their email subscription keeps you up to date on anti-gun legislation. They also include a list of all the Senators and the Governor’s email. Making it easier for you to send those vote against emails out.

I want to make a purchase online for a gun that comes with mag with larger capacity than what's allowed in colorado. I was planning on contacting the out of state dealer first and asking if it's cool to place an order but I didn't want to be annoying to them if this is an obvious no-no or put their business in a bad spot. so I'm asking coloradoans here first

anyone have issues with this before? can I just ask to omit the mag? or does no one actually give a shit?

edit: I don't live in boulder or denver counties

Any SilencerShop dealer is going to match their online prices, but are y'all aware of any LGS that have better prices than that? Primary Arms has several cans with free tax stamps, but it's a wash once the Local Gun Gouger adds on their $200 NFA transfer "fee"

This isn't meant to stoke stupid panic buying. But I happened to need some ammo anyway, so I just stocked up a little. I know that even when things don't make logical sense, prices can still go up because people get spooked.

I understand it, I read somewhere that some components for ammo manufacturing come from China? Is that true? Would we see a 10% increase in ammo prices?

What else firearms related are we getting that might be affected by tariffs?

Realize this is semantics - but given a Garand uses a clip and not a magazine would it be considered banned? Realize the writers of this bill lack a lot of functional firearms knowledge but presumably enblocs are not considered magazines right?

Noob question I suppose. If these laws and restrictions come to pass, what would you suggest beginners looking to build an AR buy now before they become illegal to buy here?

Colorado SB25-003 passed committee on Tuesday and is already scheduled for second reading in the Senate this Friday. This means the entire Senate will debate this bill and vote on it. This bill is moving very fast.

We need people to email ALL Democrat Senators AND call them. Tell them to vote no on SB25-003. Go to https://wethesecond.com All the info you need is on the homepage!

Not up to speed on this sweeping gun ban facing Colorado residents? Get the facts: https://wethesecondcolorado.com/colorado-assault-weapons-semi-auto-gun-ban-bill-sb25-003/

Typically I see anti-gun arguments cite CDC data which is notoriously inflated and subject to a lot of non-qualitative manipulation. the agency actually in charge of violent crime who directly tracks this is the FBI. If you look at the FBI's crime stat site here : CDE, you will see that Homicides in America perpetrated with a gun used were about 11,000 (still more than it should be), of which only 488 were instances were a rifle was used. To put this in contrast Knifes were used for 1341 homicides more than 2x times than a rifle which is trying to be banned.

Ironically we've all heard the citations of other forms of death, here are a few average annual deaths from the last few years:

-Heart Disease 750,000 - should we ban cheeseburgers?

-Preventable Medical Deaths: 200,000+ -Should ban doctors and pharmacists?

-Traffic Fatalities: 35,000 -perhaps we should only allow single speed cars?

-Drug OD's: 40,000 - we are a state with legal marijuana...

Lastly the stat that always reminds us why the 2nd amendment exists, 56 million citizens have been murdered by their governments last century alone, all on the heels of enacting strict gun control:

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. 

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. >From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Laws have consequences

Like the subject, I’m moving to Colorado due to a work opportunity. I’m glad to join y’all to continue adding pro-2nd amendment supporters in the state, but it seems like such a bummer heading into CO around this time.

Specifically, I was looking into building out an MK18 upper and purchasing a CZ Shadow 2 this year. Would it be sound advice to just pull the plug before I move? I know I wouldn’t be able to take the mags with me, but it’s something that I’ve been wanting for years.

Can anyone advise whether a Benelli M4 would be banned by SB3 if it passes? On the one hand, it's semi-auto, gas operated. On the other it's a tube-fed shotgun. And if they ban semi-auto shotguns, bird hunting is going to get a lot harder.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I'd be pissed if I missed out on my chance to own one because I live in CO.

Senate sponsors, governor, reps? Is there anyone specific?

Got this email from RMGO, even if this is not happening we need to call and make our voices heard. Here's what's included in the email if you are not on the mailing list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the warning I laid out yesterday is coming true: the radical Left is serious about ramming this bill through.

I need you to stop what you are doing and CALL the following Senators**:**

Sen. Nick Hinrichsen – 303-866-4878
Sen. Dylan Roberts – 303-866-4871
Sen. Tony Exum – 303-866-6364
Sen. Marc Snyder – 303-866-4880
Sen. Lindsey Daughtery – 303-866-4840
Sen. Kyle Mullica – 303-866-4451

If we can ensure that the six Senators listed above vote “NO” on this horrific measure, the bill will DIE on the floor, and Tom Sullivan will suffer from extreme HUMILIATION.

Today the decision was released in Reese v. ATF, where the FPC/SAF brought suit over the ban on 18-21 year olds purchasing weapons (https://www.firearmspolicy.org/reese) in the 5th circuit. This is a near identical case to RMGO vs. Polis where RMGO tried to fight the 18-21 year old purchasing ban in Colorado.

RMGO basically effed up the case as bad as possible and couldn't put together a legal fight worth a damn. The briefs that RMGO did were childish at best and didn't make strong arguments (note that Mountain States did the legal work but I understand they were hamstrung by demands from Dudley Brown about how to litigate). In the end, RMGO lost and set some pretty bad precedent in Colorado (and emboldened Cease Fire Colorado to push their agenda even further, hence the current gun bans going on now).

However, when a competent legal team, led by SAF/FPC, who actually WANTS to win (vs. just saber rattling and getting donations) pushed the near identical case; they won.

Read the opinion at: https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/5822/attachments/original/1738260704/2025.01.30_131-1_OPINION.pdf?1738260704

The judge calls out RMGO v. Polis and says the court was wrong in its decision (but it was the only decision they could of made given RMGO's defense).

From the Reese opinion today -- which has some strong implications on the death by a thousand cuts that Ceasefire Colorado is using on us:

Further, the contention that sales to young adults are not covered by the Second Amendment simply because of the Act’s targeted application is fundamentally inconsistent with the Bruen/Rahimi framework. The threshold textual question is not whether the laws and regulations impose reasonable or historically grounded limitations, but whether the Second Amendment “covers” the conduct (commercial purchases) to begin with. Because constitutional rights implied protect corollary acts necessary to their exercise, we hold that it does. To suggest otherwise proposes a world where citizens’ constitutional right to “keep and bear arms” excludes the most prevalent, accessible, and safe market used to exercise the right. The baleful implications of limiting the right at the outset by means of narrowing regulations not implied in the text are obvious; step by step, other limitations on sales could easily displace the right altogether.

This is why you need to give money to SAF/FPC. We *HAVE* to get them litigating in Colorado. They win, and they win strong.

I didn't hear no bell!

email these 6 senators and tell them NO on Senate Bill 25-003!

Don't give up! Don't be wimps! 😤😤🤬

Sorry to bring up another post about it, seems like the hot ticket at the moment for obvious reasons.

I'm by no means a lawyer or an expert in law, so can someone tell me what this bill will look like in the long term? Do we foree this being overturned by the Supreme Court? I've seen a few videos where people suggest that this will 100% be overturned (namely referencing snope, ost and bruen amongst other cases).

I'm just wondering if that's a real possibility, and if so, what the landscape will look like until it's overruled if it gets accepted? Do we just have to put up with the law until it's eventually overturned in who knows how long? Thanks in advance!

It's actually mind-boggling for a Canadian like me to see this type of thing happen in the US. I escaped communism in Europe to seek freedom in Canada. Over time Canada disintegrated into a socialist tyrannical disgrace of its former self, essentially it feels my freedoms are as restricted as they were back in the country from which I escaped. I'm treated as a criminal and stripped of my rights by my own government.

Civilian disarmament has been implemented across the globe at a relentless pace. I've always looked to the US as the last bastion left to uphold freedom and firearms rights. It's baffling how anti-gun bills have been creeping into US law across many states, and in particular CO, and how they seem to pass.

I don't know if there has been some insidious scheme to distance the younger generations away from understanding the importance of 2A or dissuade them from getting into firearms training, shooting sports, etc. But this has to stop.

In Canada I voted, signed petitions, donated to gun-rights organizations yet we still lost our gun rights. But our gun community is small compared to the US, and we don't have a constitution. You must protect it as it protects you. Fight this bill and every bill like it. Don't settle for any ammendments, don't meet them in the middle. They'll take everything inch by inch, they're playing the long game.

Please, if the US loses its 2A freedoms there'll be nowhere else to go. I wish I could vote as a US citizen.

Given how things are looking, I'm trying to decide if I should SBR my pistols.

The reason I'm considering SBRing is if the ban goes through, a Form 1 might be considered "building", and I would be unable to do so later. This being coupled by the uncertain future of braces. If the injunction is lifted, I'd be stuck.

And while this is a pretty flimsy argument against SBRing, I saw that a short barrel rifle is now, or soon will be, illegal to transport via vehicle. It's a gray area, but technically it's a pistol and perhaps legal to transport.

What would you do?

I've seen a lot of recommendation for places to complete the concealed carry course for getting a permit but I haven't seen anyone mention ColoradoHandgunSafety.com. It seems to have good reviews and is a solid $50-90 cheaper than anywhere else I've looked up. Is this place legit for getting the course certificate to get my permit? Are there any other Fort Collins concealed carry permit courses for under $100?

Side question, I think I just need to do the course and then apply online for the permit (at least until 7/1/25 or something). Am I missing anything? Is there a way to do it in person that is faster?

Thanks!!!

While we are focused on SB25-003, there are more bills being proposed. This one was introduced yesterday.
