Traveling to Colorado

#1

Post by mbschne »

My wife and I will be traveling to Colorado tomorrow and have a question. I've been reading up at the HandGunLaw.us website and I understand that magazines with capacities over 15 rounds are prohibited. So I assume an extra magazine under the 15 round limit is also against the law. Am I right? Any comments appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am certain that carrying a spare 15 round magazine is legal. Here is the letter of guidance from the CO AG, cc'd to Gov Lickenpooper: http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/agop ... an2013.pdf

It doesn't say anything about backup mags. It only states that the magazine cannot hold more than 15 rounds.

So, is one still in compliance if the 15 round magazine is called to duty?

Depends.... Don't you love nonspecific answers like that? :mrgreen:

Yes, of course, nothing like ambiguity to gladden one's heart...

I have a Glock 17 that's over 25 years old. It has been in my "continuous possession" since it was new (except maybe for the few weeks when I lost the key to the gun safe :oops: :lol: ). I would not hesitate to carry it to Colorado.

I also would not hesitate to carry the two spare mags I have for it.

FWIW. IANAL. EIEIO.

Does Colorado recognize hour Texas LTC? I guess I was under the impression that they do not.
