Ive noticed the NRA site isnt 100% accurate and slow to update. I reference it but states i visit i will check the nexus website and call local PD to clarify laws. Honestly I believe everyone has a right to defend themselves, and shouldnt have to ask. That aside, Ive been considering getting my FFL/SOT. So I would likely be for that. Id much rather have a one time fee/wait rather then a wait and tax each item. Id also be for a national ccw license.

Yes both of those are legal with the purchase of an NFA SBR Tax Stamp of $200 on top of the rifle price/fees. They would both be considered rifles because of the stock - Build configuration unknown. If you buy through an FFL, you get to pay $400, as there is a tax stamp from one to the dealer, and another from the dealer to you. That killed a purchase one day real quick Colorado follows the NFA. The National Firearms Act is federal law regulating the sale, posession, and manufacture of supressors, full auto, and SBR's and such. Colorado has no additional regulations for supressors, SBR's, SBS's, AOW's, AR/AK pistols, ect. https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/national-firearms-act-nfa Its hard to explain because its completely stupid, but i'll try and simplify it. Any weapon which is designed to be fired from the shoulder with a barrel length of less then 16" requires a tax stamp and is considered a "Short barrel Rifle/Shotgun". If the weapon is not designed to be fired from the shoulder, it is said to be a pistol. Things such as a forward grip on a pistol make it an AOW, unless the pistols overall length is greater then 26" or its an angled foregrip as those are different Then you have the whole AR/AK Rilfe/Pistol issue. A stripped lower can be built in any way. But once built into (or, registered/tax stamped/put on a 4473) a rifle, it can no longer be a pistol. A pistol can have any length barrel, Rifle has to be 16", or it becomes an SBR. You can also be hit with "Constructive possession" if you have the parts to build an SBR without the tax stamp. https://blog.princelaw.com/2009/09/01/florida-man-arrested-for-constructive-possession-of-an-sbr/ Not sure if you're aware but this has lead to a BUNCH of stupidity about shouldering a sig brace, the can cannon, and the micro black aces shotgun. Its a complete joke. Theres been different determination letters from different ATF agents... I dont blame you for not knowing every states laws, i surely dont! But to be sure I'm on top of things I took a course given by a lawyer and local officer. I also became a member of US Law shield where I have a lawyer on stand-by if I ever need to use my gun, and they answer questions during business hours. Free refresher course yearly. I really thought you were just pulling my leg when you said Colorado was Anti-Gun though. I dont know of many states where there is a law making it illegal to register a firearm and have preemption clauses. Denver is our own little mini commiefornia that cried until they got their way and it has done nothing for them. They always lump gun violence and criminals in with gun owners - Kind of like lumping people who buy 50 guns in with that one guy who buys 50 guns and kills people. I think its sort of working and they've gotten in your head . Its you're right and theres no middle ground. You also shouldnt be looked at as a criminal until you've done a criminal act - no matter how many guns or how much ammo you purchase. Glad the cops have been good to you, I always get a nod or a thanks from cops when they see me carrying. But a lot of the cops also dont want to enforce the magazine restrictions and fought back I feel gun grabbers use ignorance that then leads to fear. Fear then leads to irrationally taking our rights. The more open we are about it and talk about it, the less chance of them wanting to take more of our rights, maybe even be willing to give them back... otherwise we start taking them back! (Recalls, Getting to the voting booth, ect). This includes within the gun community. I'm really surprised at how many pro-gun people still say you can not own a full auto. Not saying its easy or cheap, but it is possible...

Are you familar with the NFA? It created definitions of what a Pistol and a Rifle are. These are nation wide. You can not own a SBR without a Tax Stamp. To be a pistol it has to meet specific requirements. An SBR is any rifle with a total barrel length of -less than- 16". This includes a pinned flash hider. So its an incomplete statement. What about Denver banning AR's?

Citations? Denver has not banned ARs, its 15 round for NEW purchases (we recalled those idiots!) or they can be pinned (and easily removed). Old mags are grandfathered in. The SBR statement is completely false. Curious.. where did you get any of that information? I've actually read the laws as written. Our requirements for reciprocity - Must be a resident of the state you hold you're permit of, and that state must accept Colorados permit. I dont think thats asking too much of someone, especially from someone who says its OK to interview people just because they bought several guns. Is there any state that is full reciprocity?

They tried. Denver was the only one that did anything. They prohibit open carry in Denver County. We were a gold star state (Similar to AZ) until denver did that. Then two Democrat senators did UBGC's and magazine bans... they no longer have seats! First recall ever! We also reversed rulings that open carry isnt allowed in parks. Native Coloradans like our rights... We had Columbine, Aurora Theater, Planned Parent Hood, and some random lunatic who shot people on halloween and had a shoot out a block from another high school. That doesnt mean we can just start interviewing people and making them prove their innocence out of fear they may or may not do something. Even if you did, these peoples actions would not have likely tripped the interview threshold to possibly stop them. So instead of interviewing people who are actually going to commit crime, a bunch of people who just like guns are going to be investigated for nothing. Curious... whats you're reasoning to interview people? To save lives? What about the people that die in auto accidents? Are we going to question those who want to buy Hell Cats because who needs that much horsepower when a civic with 158 would be enough? We going to question you're larger turbo purchase because its not for a track car and you may be using it to street race or break the speed limits? Where is the line and who decides it at what costs to the people? Without a solid definition on this you end up with what happens on the terror watch list where 2 and 6YO kids or singers like Cat Stephens are on it in the name of saving lives, while these incidents still happen. I think I'm understanding you're position a bit more... but the constitution still says "Shall not be infringed" and look at how much has been given up. Theres no meeting in the middle because its just losing ground for us. Theres no positive in giving them what they want because what they want is no guns at all. They will not stop until thats achieved. In a perfect world there would be a system where only criminals cant get guns. But instead, in our effort to prevent criminals from getting guns we've prevented legal citizens from getting guns and they've lost their life because of it. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/10/no-one-helped-her-nj-woman-murdered-by-ex-while-waiting-for-gun-permit.html

Your an idiot. Please explain how Colorado is Anti Gun.

They had eyes on the Orlando Shooter. So what? Until theres a good reason they missed that, your 'solution' is no different then banning bump stocks.

Why cant you state a number? If you cant name a number or anything, that just shows how arbitrary and stupid to use that reasoning. What about ammo? How many rounds sets off an alarm? If I buy one gun and 50,000 rounds is that bad? Thats such the weak argument... "If you have nothing to hide". The Orlando shooter had things to hide, and took the interview. Why was that one missed? Also, if you're a real man you dont even want or need guns They dont have the time to sit here and check every person who's just following the laws but my possibly break them. They CAN NOT pull you over for any reason. Ignorance at its finest! http://www.businessinsider.com/what-rights-do-you-have-when-pulled-over-2013-11 Do you REALLY think that interviewing a person is going to stop a crime?

This is why I posed the question: What number do we raise the flag at? Who gets to pick that number? Are there any other suspicious signs aside from "he bought more then one gun"? Like I said... you dont hang around gun stores enough. And i'd say pretty ignorant if the type of gun matters. Even with an interview, they failed to stop a shooting. Period. You're first claim was an interview would stop it, now you're moving the goal posts. And it doesnt take anything to be on a watch/no fly list. https://www.dailywire.com/news/6879/these-13-people-placed-terror-watch-list-will-blow-amanda-prestigiacomo They say terrible twos, but really a two year old on the terror watch list? I'd have to say this has flaws of its own... By the way... in the interview you still have your fifth amendment right. You think a lawyers going to let you incriminate yourself? I'd say this comes down to if you think a person is innocent until proven guilty, or if you feel someone should be able to lose their rights without a trial or actually being convicted of anything. You'll find more innocent people being caught up in it then actual criminals being stopped with that method of thought.

Lol, you must not hang around LGS's much. Some of the regulars buy 10+ guns a trip, twice in one week. Some people have money and like guns... so what? If they're so good and can should be able to know someones exact intents and everything - why didnt they catch the Orlando shooter before hand? They came out and said they had investigated him. How or why did they miss that one? But really, at what point does a persons rights end? So his dad was wanted and he had mental issues... that makes him guilty before commission of the crime?

How exactly do you check for a straw purchase? Thats mostly a feeling as my friends been turned down for a supposed straw purchase because his brother looked at a gun the day before he went to buy it (Brother was considering buying as a gift for other brothers birthday). Also, unless the BGC is ran, what stops them from going to another store or a personal sale? And theres more reasons to buy guns then just those two...

Do you believe in innocent until proven guilty? If so, what about buying that many guns shows he intended to do that? I've seen people buy 10 guns at once... but never commit a crime. People blaming bump stocks shows ignorance. What number of guns should a person be limited to? Is it only types of guns? What if its under the guise of an FFL? or C&R? Dont get me wrong, the gov is incompetent, but I cant say buying 300 rifles in a year is much of a red flag aside from maybe getting you on a watch list for a bit.

Well considering they changed the 4473s to explicitly say if you use med or rec at a state level, you can not buy guns. And with universal BGCs, theres no legal way around the 4473, smoking, and guns. As a ccw permit holder, i get letters in the mail reminding me. Thats not to say i dont have friends who have been pulled over and honest about it and let go. But the big thing right now is states vs federal law and when which applies. I know in Vegas you can have a BAC of .10 and still legally carry - so i dont think even the most high of persons should be prohibited from carry. Especially when you think about how a drunk/high person could be considered an easier target. Theres plenty of smart gun makers in the race - one big one is a young guy out of boulder i believe. i dont blame them, that could be huge money if the law makers get their way. However its been proven time and time again the hackability and possible failure at a time of need makes it a pile of poo. Thats the real hold up. Im not agaisnt it existing, but am agaisnt any law requiring or encouraging it.

I didnt even notice you were in NJ - but registration is the next step to confiscation. And then when you talk about the whole pot thing, if they find out you smoke, and you have a gun registered (or CCW) then you lose out or can be fined/jailed. So stupid. Has PA changed? I've shot with someone who grew up there and he seemed really surprised that Colorado's laws were "lax". I only keep up with Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Las Vegas - places I travel lol.

You say that now And unless you're project is to move from behind enemy lines - not sure how immune you can be. Less susceptible maybe... but immune? Cali dont care... I kind of wish there was a more constant push for gun laws to be the way the should be. It comes in waves after they push to take them... but then it just dies out until they take more.

Are you serious right now?! This is magical. I've been told the "collectors" BS about my Gen 2's that I carry. Whats the fun of having a gun you wont shoot? If you can, I always suggest buying both. If I didnt have a shield with Apex flatty and nigh sights already I'd have jumped on the 43. If you plan on pocket carry, I think the pocket size dictates the gun size. The pants Im wearing now I can comfortably pocket and draw my G19, possibly even a 17. Another pair of pants make drawing the 42 difficult.

Go for the 43 unless you want the smallest Glock made or really want a .380. I wish I held out for the 43 but it was as certain as the cobb FF kit for LGT's at the time I like it, but its my "its better then nothing" gun. I'd feel much better with it in 9mm and my meat claws like larger frames. One thing I like about my shooting range is they dont try and sell ya anything. Then again the national forest doesnt sell much

I really like Vortex optics. My friend has a Spitfire on his AR we were shooting yesterday. Much much better then a bushnell i picked up. I'd post a pic of his rifle and such but its not wanting to upload for some reason. Palmetto has the Sparc on black friday, $129. Id pick it up but for just a bit more I'd probably get a spitfire. They also run a deal for $199 you get a sparc and like 10 mags - just a heads up if you need some mags or just want a pretty solid discount.

So what about the real fact that ethanol is being shoved down our throats now? And per the flyer a fuel that 'burns cleaner so its better for you, your car, and eviornment" isnt going to attract any attention? Its not going to just be power pushers - soccer moms and eco nuts will want in on it too, and a LOT drive subaru. Maybe you dont see many because theyre all in Colorado. Tons of 4th and 3rd gen leggys. On my block alone theres 4 or 5 LGT/OBX/FXT's... As far as your parts venture vs ethanol support - i think its two totally different games. They arent goin to madate LWCP's but they can mandate more ethanol in vehicles.

This times 1000x. And with the pushing of more and more "E-Blends" at the pump and technology advancements I think flex fuel kits will become available for a wider range of older cars over time.

Thank you, that is good information to know. I had assumed it was all corn.

You sure? The theory is that they took "regular" gas and added more ethanol (50% more) which would increase octane. Even on the pamphlet I was given it said "Increased octane over regular fuels". It would seem more ethanol = more octane. 85-91 octane is what comes out of the tap with 10% ethanol - In Colorado we have lower octane then everyone else. The E15 is listed as higher octane - a google search shows it at 92.6 octane. So adding ethanol to normal gas would increase its octane but it seems that in turn requires adding more fuel. This is where I question if most, or at least Subaru, ECU's can compensate. So when I pull up to a pump theres 3 or 4 handles - Red is 10% ethanol, in 85, 87, or 91 octane. Blue is E15 which seems to be 92.6 octane, Yellow which is E85 is 112 octane and Green Diesel.

What do you get for mileage? And is that correct... you're saying 93 was over $3.00 a gal? If so thats insane!!! Pretty sure when I got gas yesterday it was a less then .30 difference between the two and both were around $1.58 Instead of creating a new thread and everything im also curious, at what percent of ethanol is a tune really needed? The pumps are pushing new E15 which is 50% more then current gas and I would see that as an issue. Or am I just being paranoid?

Ugh, why must you guys keep bringing up ethanol! But at least its with positive information. I feel im subliminally and physically being talked into ethanol. Mythbusters "Moonshine" episode was on, where they tested using shine for fuel. And then I was hassled at the pump to start using E15. I have the want to go E85 but dont really want to do it unless I can do the cobb flex fuel. We have plenty of E-85 stations but I'd hate to go to far from my 'safety zone' and get myself into a bind. Im not a big fan of the "multi-tune" setup with sensors and such. Maybe if I had an AP to flash tunes easier....
