Considering the current legislation regarding standard capacity magazines is likely to pass a senate vote and receive the full blessing of Hickenlooper, would Magpul consider a period of direct sales to CO residents before leaving. We're being screwed by this legislation despite all we have done to stop it, would Magpul help flood the Colorado market before departure to help offset the damage of the new law for residents? Most of us I believe support your decisions to move operations if the state passes hb 13-1224, but we also lose in the process. Could anyone from Magpul comment on this proposition?

We are working on something for this. Stand by.

Thank you for drawing a line in the sand.

We will miss you guys. Flooding the market is brilliant, please do it. Im in for a dozen or so. Whatever I can afford.

Awesome, please make sure it is a media event with thousands of people present.

Roger that, standing by....

Tag for hope.

I am kind of sad now because I liked vacationing in Colorado but if they pass these laws I will go elsewhere..... I do not go to NY CA MA MD NJ etc for a reason.  Sorry CO friends!

Oh please make it so.  This would not only be slap in the face to these douchebags but a good move on helping us trapped behind enemy lines



 

Standing by, thank you.

+1 Vote from me to provide CO consumers ahead of my backorders.

Ill drive down from Wyoming just to freaking get some since Ive been on backorder lists for 2 months now from DSG and Brownells.

Agreed. +1 for me flood the market.








 

Let me know when and where!

This.  Why the hell would you reward the citizens of a State that is willing to shut you down?

Million mag dump at the Capitol ?

I completely support this action.

Push my order back and flood Colorado with every magazine you can produce.

It is my birth state... My growing up state...  And before this stupidity, the State I always hoped to return to.

But, for now... Push my order back and give my former Colorado neighbors my place in line.

Then... Colorado... Take this shit to court. We have to do it.

Reward? We citizens have been fighting this legislation from day 1, the state legislature has turned a deaf ear on the constituents of this state and voted against the will of the people. Most of Colorado is gun friendly, but some urban areas have swelled in population to the point that are able to sway the entire state; much like Chicago dictates what happens in Illinois. The citizens here in CO have been proud to have Magpul here and would love for them to stay, but a few pretentious politicians have decided otherwise and they will deal with the consequences in 2014. Your comment is out of line and nobody is being rewarded, unless you have something more constructive to add please refrain from insulting all citizens of Colorado, as we are not "all" responsible for recent events any more than we are responsible for the shootings here that spawned this ill-informed legislation.

Youre not wrong with what you said but remember the lack of PMAGS right now is a sensitive subject. With the BS that Brownells pulled and the overwhelming amount on backorder from various retailers consumers are going to be upset if a million PMAGS are released in CO ahead of everyone that are on backorder lists. Its just like Aero Precision; they are selling lowers on their website for $200 with an almost constant 'in stock' status even though there are thousands on backorder through Brownells. People are pissed at the fact they are selling straight to the public instead of fulfilling their backorder obligations with Brownells.

I support the idea of Magpul getting as many PMAGS into CO before the ban as possible but they have to be very careful how they do. There are tens of thousands of people already upset about their lack of PMAGS.

Comparing your State to Illinois, wow.  See the danger....  You pay taxes to them so if they pass the laws and you abide/stick around your agreeing if you like it or not....  THUS the current response from Magpul.....

Agreed

I sincerely hope y'all don't have to pack up shop but if so...

Sow the land with salt, as it were.

I'm in for 10 down here in Pueblo, CO and I don't even need em.  Just want to support Magpul.  This state has been taken over by foreigners from other States who have no clue about what this state is about (i.e. Our Governor and one of our US Senators) All this anti gun garbage comes from the urban center Denver.

I am in for a few as well.

If it did not take too much setup time I would vote for "take this mag and shove it" theme for all the wonderful Democraps that voted the way they did.

Heck, I would even kick in a few $100 for the setup fee.

Give us a heads up so I can plan a trip to CO, ha!

Seriously though...

Don't apologize and more importantly, don't be quiet.  Figure out a vacation iteniary based on what you have done on past vacations, including money spent.  Then email it to the local chamber of commerces, businesses you frequent, the state legislature, the state tourism site and the governors office, explaining why you will now be dropping 2K or whatever a year on vacations to Wy or Utah instead of CO.


We can still stop this and nothing gets a politicians attention like money.  To help you out here are the email addresses for the CO legislature:

If you need help tracking down other emails im me.

Setup a lemonade stand outside the capital and sell PMAGS all day.

Pretty great idea.  I will totally be there if this happens.

I think a major point in all this is that politicians are pushing agendas that DO NOT reflect their constituents or the real will of the people they are supposed to represent.  I believe this is happening all over the country at all levels of government.  It is pretty clear to me that CO legislature is doing this as a preemptive strike intentionally targeting MAGPUL at the instruction of the federal level who may still have problems passing magazine restrictions at the federal level.

Sadly, I predict that a lot of this legislation is going to pass in all levels of government regardless of anything the voting public does or says.  It has been happening already on numerous other issues already.  We should all still fight for our rights, but I do think it is time to start coming up with contingency plans, and not just "hope" it doesn't come to that.  Gun owners, in general, do not usually fall into the category of "sitting around and hoping nothing bad will happen" - they PREPARE.  This is no different.

Just my 2 cents.

I am not a CO resident but feel badly for the uprooting of some who may have to follow you.

I and I am sure others APPLAUD your resolve and forthcoming execution of your promise. I hope your bravery and patriotic actions drives to action the "sleeping" Citizens and changes the minds of others to vote these bastards OUT.

May you enjoy much success in your endeavors and thank you for standing for the real Americans who cherish their liberties, individual freedoms of choice and common sense.

I would gladly wait longer for more mags if it means you guys take a huge, public dump of PMAGS in CO before leaving.

Ok, I am going to be late to work now, but I have to reply to the people in this thread whining about this idea because that really pisses me off..

Its not about who gets their precious Pmags first before someone else.. if you had any common sense you would have ordered all that you need well before a certain president was reelected.. do you really think that this buying panic wouldn't happen again like it did in every recent election? It doesn't matter who was elected, it would still happen.. that is regardless of the mass shootings, which just made things that much worse..

The idea behind these magazine laws, both those introduced into Colorado, and the gun laws that have been discussed at the federal level (more in regards to "assault rifles"), are to restrict or prohibit sales of something ("high capacity" =standard capacity mags in this case) so that in so many years there won't be anymore of these items around (apparently once all of us that currently own them die, and of course obey the law about not passing them on to anyone else).. to an extent, this will work just by new product not being available to purchase (note the number of pre-89 import rifles for sale now vs. 10 years ago - much less).. but the people formulating these laws have NO idea how many mags are out there and how many people stockpile mags to the point where they could build their own two-story Pmag house if they wanted..

So a large influx of mags into Colorado before this stupid ban takes effect would be in direct opposition to these new laws, and it would at least make the politicians looks stupid for a little while, especially if it was on all of the local Denver channels.. in a very public event.. it would also get more mags into the hands of people that in theory won't be able to purchase them any longer after July, which is not the case for most of you whiners in other states waiting for your Brownell's backorder that you should have placed a year ago.. oh, and btw whoever said mags aren't date coded has apparently never actually looked at a mag by any manufacturer..

And yes, I am from Colorado, but not all of us in the state were responsible for the current political stupidity as has also been implied in this thread.. I would feel bad and encourage a similar program for any state that faced a similar situation.. I'm sure not everyone in NY was responsible for the stupidity that just occured there.. unfortunately it is too late to ship them a million Pmags to dump on Times Square..

Also for the record I have all of the Pmags I would ever need (though not enough to build a house), but I would gladly support Magpul in any effort like this, even if it was just a donation to offset the cost of some public event..

Thank you!

Please make sure I hear about it too. Sometimes I can be pretty deef.

+1000

Renard, not all of us had an AR15 a year ago or five years ago.   I got mine about five weeks ago.  So I am in the process of acquiring an adequate supply of PMags.   I will get mine from DSG before the possible HB 1224 effective date of 1 July 2013. No worry.  No panic.  

As an aside, I probably did not even know of PMags until last December 2012.  My Holiday Pack order was 31 Dec.   Then I learned that Magpul was in Colorado and I smiled.

A few days ago I looked them up on Wikipedia and their history seems worthy of a documentary.  I am impressed.

Given the way the Federal bill is written, it will be unlawful to TRANSFER mags. That means that if you have children and you want them to grow up and have access to standard capacity mags, you will need to buy all the mags they will EVER NEED before the ban passes.  There are lots of people who have not planned or previously purchased with that scenario in mind.
If everybody was aware of this situation, the price of mags would be in the hundreds.

It's your business - You BUILT IT!

Make it big enough to make their eyes bleed.

Be nice if anyone having Colorado State ID WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

CCW, NRA, GOA only. . . . just venting.

This...

Bravo Magpul!  I'd hate to see the company leave, but considering how Colorado is turning California on you, it's the right thing to do.

sorry I need to comment about those saying that "we should have bought the mags *before*" :

I got a handfull of Gen2 maglevels (window) earlier last year.  I was going to buy more around oct, nov, but magpul was coming out with the GEN 3, and I wanted the newest.  In fact, I wanted to just buy one to make sure it would work with my two different AR's before spending a bunch of money on new mags.  I waited and waited to see ANY of these in stock ANYWHERE, just so I could have one in my hand to test out.  No luck.  Finally I just had to place some on backorder.

And, NO, I don't have ammo cans filled with loaded mags buried all over the countryside.  Sorry.

I bet there are many long-time magpul (magazine) customers in same boat as me.

In for the mag flood.

Please flood the Connecticut market as well, we are soon to be screwd. I don't have any faith in our reps but I'm doing my part to change there mind.

Cheers to all of the non CO residents that support this idea.  Your sympathy and understanding is greatly appreciated.  I am deeply moved by your patience and support.

A million cheers to Magpul for standing up for the residents of CO.  Your bravery and support in this whole tyrannical shit show is worth more than you can ever imagine to many of us.....I will be a lifetime supporter of Magpul regardless of how this all shakes out.

Boo to the few individuals complaining about not getting their backorder before those of us that may NEVER be able to purchase standard capacity magazines should this bill be passed against our will.

I sadly have to second this... We are trying our hardest to reason with out own representatives but sadly they have their own agendas.

I say do it.  It would be a big slap to the CO legislators face.  F them.  I can wait longer for my mags, I prepared long ago.

Massive +1

THANK YOU!

It would mean a helluva lot to us fellow CO'ers who love and support Magpul.

Setup in front of the capitol and sell Pmags by the MILLIONS.

now that is a message.

+1

I award you both 1,000 internets if this happened

Count me amongst the non-Coloradoans who'll gladly wait a little longer if that's what it takes to get mags into the hands of those people fucked by their elected officials.
