New Mexico and Colorado Magazine Capacity Questions

I'm not a lawyer (and I don't want to be one) but if I understand Colorado's law if you bought it legally wherever you live you can bring it to Colorado as long as you don't sell it or give it away
Also incorrect.

If obtained in compliance with CO laws, it may be possessed in CO. That's it.
 
OK, Just going to ignore you. I don't feel the need to trash this thread doing battle with a keyboard warrior. You and your ego have a nice day.
You can't read post 21? It's pretty simple really.

No reason to be an angry troll over it. 👍
 
I got this from a website that I'm going to provide a link to.

New Residents Moving Into Colorado From Other States

The legal framework of Colorado’s CRS 18-12-302, which restricts high-capacity magazine possession, does not explicitly address the scenario of individuals moving into Colorado and bringing high-capacity magazines with them. This creates a notable gap in the law, as it clearly outlines the rules for in-state sale, transfer, and possession, but remains silent on the implications for new residents who bring such magazines from states with more lenient laws. This lack of clarity can lead to uncertainty for those relocating to Colorado who own high-capacity magazines.


It would seem to me in my I'm not a lawyer opinion that it's a law doesn't address (as an example) a resident of Wyoming who really purchased the 20 round magazine and then move to or visit in Colorado with his 20 round magazine, then the Wyoming resident didn't break the law.

But if I drove up to Cheyenne and bought a bunch of magazines that were illegal in Colorado and brought them back I would be.
You are certainly able to ignore the attorney generals clarification letters to law enforcement that directly refute the opinion you posted. Much of the wording in the original AG's clarification was lifted directly from my testimony. The current AG has fumbled the ball and removed those interpretations from the AG website and has issued no new ones.

Post 21 is still correct.

From your website...

Grandfather Clause: Individuals who owned a large-capacity magazine before July 1, 2013, and have maintained continuous possession of it are exempt from the prohibition.


So, where is the confusion. Laws apply to persons within a justification when they are in it. That legal precedent is well defined in US law, even if you don't like it
