Colorado Gun Laws for Travelers

[TAB]

i agree completely, but you can't always get them.   if I take the puddle jumper from here to portland, I will always fly atleast 2 airlines.   its a 4+ hour drive or a 2.5 hour train/ bus ride.  Personally I like the train, the bus sucks but its only 15 mins.   I am in portland now to fly out tonight.   Its a no stop.  You know where you don't get off the plane, no direct flight this time at any price.

I was wondering about that. I was thinking they would be ok to bring as long as I didn't sell, trade it give them away since y'all can still have the ones you own. Most of my pistol mags are 15, but all long gun mags are over that. Hmmmmm

How does the federal law work when you're making a giant loop? Technically, I'm on my way home as soon as I leave it; it'll just be two weeks before I make it back.

If you are traveling to Colorado and then home, Colorado and home would be the two points where you need to be legal.  If you could prove another state other than Colorado was your destination you could go with their laws.  To me it sounds like Colorado law is what you are going to have to obey. 

Also, The Free Passage rule is strictly for transportation, and it does not allow for use in a more restrictive jurisdiction.

TAB,

Even if you are changing airlines, as long as you do not leave the airport you are ok.  Where people, like in New Jersey, get in trouble is when the enter the airport or leave the airport with the firearms.

Even if you leave the airport, the Free Passage covers you as long as that jurisdiction is not your end point.

That is how the law is written, but more then once the locals have ignored the law.     you also have to be careful so states require a locked case/ gun lock.  In ca a simple zippered pouch is ok, in others its not.   just for the record I am flying with my gun tonight.   my no stop is lax, if it was a stop, no way I would have brought it.

Airlines require a locked hard case, so when flying that is a non-issue.

No. You're going TO Colorado. If it was a stop over on the way to Atlanta, you'd be fine. But the law says it has to be legal at the point of origin and the destination. If your ticket says Colorado? Well, that's your destination, and you play by their rules while you're there, as legally you aren't just passing through.

The part about being on the way home was mostly a joke.

I'm not flying. I'm driving from Alabama to the four corners region to go to most of the national parks in the area. I'll probably be in Utah most of the time but will also visit Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, maybe cross the line into Nevada for a day. That's not counting all the states in between, but I'm legal in those. Tent camping and sandwiches to make it affordable.

There should be no problem since you are the original owner and you maintain possession, don't sell, loan, give yada, yada, yada anyone else your Hi cap Mags and technically if your gun has a hi-cap mag in it you aren't even allowed to let anyone else to shoot it with the hi-cap mag. As you have probably read, July 1st people stood there passing, trading, exchanging hi-cap P-Mags on the capital steps with CSP watching them. They were in violation of the law an unenforceable one at that & nobody got arrested, fined or hand slapped.
