ROCKY MOUNTAIN GUN TRUST

On July 1, 2013, Colorado enacted two laws affecting all gun owners and any person in the presence of a firearm. The first law prohibits the sale, transfer or possession of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds. The second law requires a background check anytime there is a transfer of possession of a firearm... Starting on July 1, 2013, the sale, possession or transfer of a "High Capacity" magazine in Colorado is a crime. The correct term is not high capacity magazine but large capacity magazine. A person who owns a large capacity magazine prior to July 1, 2013 and maintains continuous possession after that date has a defense to being charged with violation of the law. In layperson terms, existing large capacity magazines are not subject to forfeiture, today. However, upon death, the large capacity magazine is probably forfeited...
