For CO residents...especially those that relocated there since 2013?!?
For CO residents...especially those that relocated there since 2013?!?
Hey All, I hope this finds you all well. I'm looking at relocating to SW Colorado and buying a small hay farm. (Yes, I will personally be controlling the prevalent prairie dog population. ) The area is pretty conservative but I understand that the state as a whole is not so much anymore. That said, a specific concern is their magazine laws & hope those in Colorado & especially those that have relocated there since 2013 can clarify for me or at least lend some input. As I have a few +15 rnd magazines that I have owned pre-2013 for a few HG's and defensive long guns...can I bring these and possess them there? Can I actually legally use them? What I think I understand thus far is that the sale and transfer is a problem (don't plan on selling or giving any of them away) but that the possession of them is not an issue so long as you are not committing crimes with them or selling them etc. As I'm understanding it...
Again, can I bring them with me when I move if I wasn't a resident since 2013? Can I actually legally use them there? Thank so much in advance! Last edited by TOU; 01-18-2022 at 07:50 PM. |

Pretty simple. YOU were not a CO resident in possession of the magazines before the cutoff date and are transferring them into CO. End of discussion, except most sheriffs don't give a SRA until you are in court for defending yourself with one and etc etc.
Having owned Ag land here in SW CO for thirty years my recommendation is find the best Water Lawyer you can to go over the water rights and historical usage before you buy. I have several friends in real estate and all of them would say DON'T TRUST A REAL ESTATE AGENT about the water rights. CO has an entirely different water law than the other 49 states. That's what you should worry about. |

I have a friend who lives near Durango in SW Colorado. He has told me that interpretation of the law changes as easily as talking to two different "experts" on the topic.
It might be worthwhile to get a written interpretation from the States Attorney office or similar before you move. Finding out the current "truth" could be painful after the fact. JMO - BCB

Not throwing a brick at BCB but the default setting on any bureaucrat is gonna be 'NO'. My '80 CJ-5 was in a fire and the dealer said law did not require the pollution crap to be fixed. Denver pollution Nazi said I could spend the cost of my house fighting him and the answer would still be no.

Just load 'em and wear 'em.
IF you have a CCW from Utah, bring it along it's good til it expires, by then you'll be settled and can get one from the local sheriff. IF you don't have one, don't cover it up! Wear it open just about anywhere there's no sign on the door against it. I have no clue about buying a ranch, that's over the hump from here. Best wishes.

Not to get too far off-topic but some FYI clarifications...we are excited about this new adventure as we approach semi-retirement but with this one minor exception. We have already struck a deal on a place...contingent upon the sale of our home which goes up for sale in 2 weeks. The place has water pressurized irrigation already...IF there is water. Last year there was serious water restrictions even for farmers...they basically ran out. So many ended up pooling their allotments to cover their minimum water charges; this was the first time this has happened to this extent. Hopefully, this year will be better as the snowpack is looking better.
Thank you all for the feedback! Quote:

If a magazine doesn't have a manufactured date on it, law enforcement has no way to tell when a person came into possession, hence no way to prosecute anyone on possession of a 15+ rd. magazine.
I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep if I brought a bunch of magazines with me from another state, as long as none of them have a manufactures date showing a date beyond the date the law went into affect. Welcome to Colo. |

From what I was reading it seems hunting is legal with suppressors in Colorado? Does anyone know(use one) for sure that lives there? Thx!
