As if I wasn't ready to leave CO already.........the hits just keep on coming.

Whether or not you like them for hunting, the new law signed yesterday is horrible in a couple of ways. Basic 2nd amendment part speaks for itself. Commerce wise it is going to push everyone who has the ability to buy/acquire covered guns elsewhere to do that. Finally, the self proclaimed "party of the poor/underserved" has now made owning the weapons covered a "well off white man's" game.....gotta have money for a class, gotta have money for a permit (and renew every 5 years, and, GASP, you're going to have to have legit government issued ID........all in all, just another brick in the wall.......

Trust your gut. Its not going to get better in CO.

Come on over to Illinois! Oh, wait.

For the past three years, I've been involved in Forex trading, constantly learning new strategies and honing my skills. Along the way, I’ve come across many opportunities, but one particular online trading contest left me shaken and wiser. What appeared to be a legitimate contest with a grand prize turned out to be an elaborate scam. I’d like to share my experience to help others avoid a similar trap. It started with an online ad promoting a Forex contest. The hosting company seemed reputable, the prize was attractive, and the website looked professional. Eager to join, I paid a $1,000 registration fee. Soon after, I got an email saying I’d qualified for the next round but to proceed, I needed to cover $2,000 in shipping costs for the prize. Believing it was worth it, I paid. But after that, communication stopped. No prize. No response. Suspicious, I started researching and found out that many others had been caught in the same scheme. I had fallen victim to a professional scam and lost a total of $10,000. Feeling overwhelmed, I began looking for help. That’s when I found a digital recovery service specializing in online scams. I provided all my evidence, and they began working on my case. Thanks to their expertise, they were able to trace the transaction and recover my funds. This experience taught me the importance of verifying everything before making financial commitments online. I hope my story raises awareness about online trading scams and helps others avoid them. Be cautious if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Stay vigilant alright. None of my business really but that same type of story keeps popping up on here, I personally would ask who's the scammer?

Ya Colorado will continue with these changes. Following the same playbook from California. Sad that the western slope has no say in these issues as the front range population write the laws for the state.

 

[seeth07]

How does this impact current people of the state and visitors? I think I saw the law goes official in August.

 

[TN2shot07]

Just imagine if you tried to push similar legislation through to be able to do something like vote…. You’d be the most racist POS on the planet

 

[Cap’n Crunch]

Very bad bill! Colorado has lost its mind and seems intent on crushing anything that is logical and for law abiding citizens.

It really is the new California! Sad, very sad.

I heard it doesn’t take effect until 2026 but double check me.

Will you take out Tulijuanacutler? Seems to be a foreign asset infiltrating our HT political hunting forum world .

This is what I saw about this sessions work: "The effective date for bills enacted without a safety clause is August 6, 2025"

It goes into effect August 1, 2026 because they knew they couldn’t build out the infrastructure for people to start obtaining permits in 2025.

The sad reality is this bill is just the tip of the iceberg. Everytown for Bloomberg has complete control over the Denver/Boulder metro Dems in the General Assembly. They average 5-6 anti-gun bills per session. They have to keep proposing and passing these bills to keep the campaign money flowing. They have already hit most of the easy stuff: red flag laws, over 21, safe storage, excise tax, assault weapons ban, etc. Now they will move on to full blown bans, complete firearm registration/training requirements, mandatory buybacks (confiscation), and elimination of firearms retailers.

Naysayers will claim this is just a slippery slope fallacy but I would contend it is a simple trend analysis based on the stated goals of groups like Everytown and Giffords. They are applying shifting baselines and a strategy of incrementalism in pursuit of eliminating gun ownership and sales in Colorado.

The only thing sort of slowing them down currently is Governor Jared Polis, as crazy as that sounds. If Coloradans want to retain their constitutional rights regarding firearms, they have to make serious cuts into the Dem majorities in the state house and senate.

There have also been rumors swirling that Polis may have his sights set on a White House run. If that happens it will be imperitive that we remember this and other action such as his support for prop 127. On another note I am very curious how this law affects visiting hunters. Do the registration and training requirements only apply to ARs?

 

[Forkyfinder]

Its always interesting to me - gun control advocates always want to make it much harder to own a gun but even verifying your identity is an intrustion to your right to vote.

The fact is - this would actually hurt poor people seeking to have means to defend themselves. The poor inner single city mother in Aurora shouldnt have to take out of the limited time she has to deal with getting a course, license, and pay ridiculous fees - simply to express her rights and defend her family. Worse - people like her will be many of the victims of "enforcement" when they choose between a hard binary and have no means of hiring a good lawyer.

This is bullshit. Coloradans owe it to those people and themselves to say something.

He likely still has his sights set on the highest office. Wholeheartedly agree that he has to be held accountable for the PolisGunBan. Just a point of clarification though, Gov Polis did not endorse Prop 127. He also didn’t oppose it. In fact the Colorado Democratic Party chose not to endorse Prop 127. I credit the savvy campaign directors at Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management with ensuring bipartisan opposition to Prop 127. One of many smart strategic moves by CRWM.

its the ski towns too. Vail, Steamboat, Glenwood, Aspen, durango, etc. I am 4th generation Coloradan. Havn't been there in twenty two years and probably will seriously debate going back to my forty year reunion in 2029. I grew up in one of the ski towns and when I was eleven after I took my hunters safety class, I could come home from school grab my single shot twenty gauge, walk through the neighborhood and go chase grouse up in the hills. When I was sixteen I got pulled over by a trooper for speeding. I was coming from the rifle range a week before 2nd season elk opened. My rifle and my dads were visible in the back seat and the trooper didn't even question me after I told him I was coming from the range and was checking if they were zeroed. But times change and I am just rambling.

It goes into effect August 1, 2026 because they knew they couldn’t build out the infrastructure for people to start obtaining permits in 2025.

Same with Oregon’s new permit to purchase that due to obtuse and misleading voter ballot language (approved by a Secretary of State who later was forced to resign allegedly due to taking $10k per month on the side from a cannabis syndicate), barely passed by ballot measure 114 in 2022.

Initially in December 2022 when the permit to purchase was challenged in Federal court on constitutional grounds, the State represented to the Court that the permit system (operated by the State Police) was ready or would shortly be ready. It was nowhere close.

Judge found it was constitutional but that it couldn’t go into effect until the system was actually working.

Since Oregon is a “special kind of special” in the way it tries to do anything, cut to April 2025 and even now the State’s system isn’t slated to be up and running until at least mid 2026.

Part of the issue is funding including for additional staff (numerous additional FTE). Sounds like for CO they’ll need to staff up, sooner rather than later because I assume CO will generally be more competent than Oregon.
