Legal CMP Refusing Sales to CO

47 Upvotes

The law is working as intended.

The CMP has refused my purchase of a surplus M1 Garand due to SB003. They won't sell any semiautomatic firearms to CO without the new permit.

They have no comment on any ongoing legal review or possibility of updating their policy in the future.

From my understanding, these M1s are except as curios and relics.

General News Congress may soon be asked to privatize 2,000+ acres of Colorado BLM land for a private ranch

131 Upvotes

I was asked to also post this here.

Please take 30 seconds to sign the petition opposing the proposed GAME Act.

https://c.org/qHDcs5PnyJ

Rep. Jeff Hurd is expected to introduce a bill that would transfer more than 2,000 acres of BLM land northeast of Glenwood Springs to Out of Bounds Ranch.

I’ve hunted this parcel for decades. It is not “unused.” In a unit already dominated by private property, these parcels provide valuable elk habitat and access to connected public land.

This would DELETE over 2,000 acres of prime hunting access in unit 444.

This is not just about hunting, this is about preserving public lands and our rights as citizens. This isn’t a game, but unfortunately, some think otherwise.

Thank you!

Other SB23-003 still waiting

What a joy it is to be a Coloradan. I applied for my “permit” at the end of July, after jumping through some hoops due to my Hunter education course being out of state and now I am still waiting. I have a CHP in Colorado (which apparently means nothing), have my hunter safety course certification from over a decade ago, and here I am still waiting over 1 month later pending sheriff review. How is this program anything less than a completely failure? I’m not trying to get political here, but this is ridiculous.

Legal Viramontes - Brief of Petitioners to SCOTUS

Thumbnail supremecourt.gov
17 Upvotes

The Intro starts on page 17. There is no TL;DR version of this Brief, it's already as short as the authors could make it.

Good stuff on page 43 onward, digging into historical tradition vs the current application of "dangerous and unusual". It seems that back in the old days, the test was applied on a case-by-case basis depending on the weapon used, how it was used, and the actual nature of the crime. It was up to the JURORS to decide if it was dangerous/unusual.

Compare that to today's pre-compiled "naughty lists" that allow convictions without the defendant having a chance to challenge the dangerous/unusual accusation. Today, the judge will just instruct the jury as to whether a weapon is dangerous or not and the jury won't put up a fight, they'll just side with the government without ever hearing testimony about the true nature of the weapon and why the prosecution/defense disagree that the weapon is not particularly unusual or dangerous.

Hopefully SCOTUS agrees that it's time to get back to basics. The "feature bans" and restrictions are hopefully on their way into the dark corners of history and remembered as gross authoritarianism. The ATF vertical foregrip rule and the California "featureless" pistol grip (which features a huge shark fin) rule are perfect examples of such authoritarianism... dictating right down to how you can and cannot HOLD the gun in your own hands.

General Question Harris Park - Shooting Restrictions

9 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to see here if anyone in the group has more info about if Harris Park is open at the moment. I know there was a thread about 4 months ago that mentioned it was still open through stage 1 fire ban limits in Park County then. I was just driving up 43A on the way to it and saw a sign saying there are stage 2 fire bans in Park County now and no shooting allowed. I just went ahead and turned around at that point. Anyone know if this is still in effect after the rains of the last week? Is Harris Park open at the moment?

Although the Court continues to believe the Waiting Period Act is constitutional, the Court is bound by the Tenth Circuit’s decision and the law of the case. For the reasons stated in Ortega, the Court denies the Defendants’ MSJ and grants the Plaintiffs’ MSJ.

Legal Contact your gun store first

26 Upvotes

I’ve seen some posts on here with people saying online gun stores won’t ship to CO anymore. I urge you to email the store and explain that you have your SSF cert and an FFL that will accept and follow all local laws.

Atlantic firearms states they don’t ship to CO on their site but when i sent them my SSF cert they said that’s no problem and they would ship it if i had an FFL that would accept. They responded by email in minutes.

General Question CMP M14 insight with SB25-003

4 Upvotes

So i'm currently deployed and saw the news about about the CMP selling M14's in January. I'll still be overseas when these go for sale so I can't get the permit. But looking through the bill its exempts "Springfield Armory M1A Standard Issue Rifle".

There is also the C&R exemption; the issue being I could have my wife do the mail in order for CMP but in states that require permits they require proof of carrying that permit.

With the M1A exempt and the C&R exemption do you think that M14's would meet the exemption threshold, or am I SOL till I get back stateside get the permit and hope the CMP still has stock or pay overinflated prices for one on GB.

Training SB25-003 Specified Semiautomatic Firearms Class (SSF) Worth It?

Has anyone in this sub taken the class for the heck of it?

Was the material worth it to you beyond satisfying the requirement for the permit?

I’ve already hunter’s ed, my CCW and the NRA basic Pistol & Rifle classes…and I already have the firearms that I want for the foreseeable future until this bullshit gets turned over.

I confirmed with both yesterday, they wont ship handguns, rifles anything. I tried on a deal with SF for a $180 shipped, Ruger LCP, only 6+1 capacity. Probably no taxes either. They're basically embargoing Colorado. Hard ban.

Anyone else see this? We're being abandoned.

General News 25–003 advice

47 Upvotes

25-003 ANNOUNCEMENT. If you were looking to purchase anything that’s on the SSF list, please get a Hunter safety card first. If you were over 50, a veteran, or active duty, Colorado will help you test out online(-(34.95). Texas and New Mexico. Offer online options. The Hunter safety route qualifies you to take the four hour class instead of the 12 hour class. Do not register with the CPW for the SSF authorization until you get your Hunter safety and verify it with CPW.

Every year me and some old army buddies do a reunion to go shooting. This year we’re going to Colorado. We need a good place to go do the following
We’ll probably do some field craft, shooting and NVG shooting. Don’t mind driving across the state if needed. Pics from a trip we did last year.

I know a lot of places we could go near the front range but want to go somewhere more remote

Feel free to DM me, it would be greatly appreciated
