[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 783445, member: 35183"] So on July 1 the new law goes into effect criminalizing possession of magazines with a capacity of over 15 rounds. The law has a grandfather clause, but it does not appear to be clear how this would be applied to non residents. I have been in possession of my Galil and FAL magazines for many months, but I rather doubt I would be able to find the purchase receipts. If this is to be handled the way things are done in NY state and many other east coast (and west coast) states, the person in possession is arrested and a judge decides. Given that this is a very expensive process and can result in loss of 2A privileges (at the very least loss of concealed carry permit), I have no interest in getting arrested and appearing in court in the first place. Has there been any discussion by CO residents about measures which can be undertaken in the intervening period which could reliably vouch for legal possession prior to the cut off date ? In addition, does anyone have a legal opinion on whether someone from out of state is permitted to bring such items into Colorado after the effective date of the law, if it can be demonstrated that you were in possession prior to the effective date ? Comments appreciated, but lets see constructive ones and not a rant about how stupid our leaders are. We all know where things are at. [/QUOTE]
