So there is a chance I can transfer to Montrose with my company and just wondering about a few things.

I have already read and researched allot so I already know I can bring all my sbr's, suppressors, as well as all my normal capacity magazines that I have owed prior to the ban in 2013.

My question is this on the gun stuff. I do have some pmags that have mold dates after the ban. Does the local law enforce the ban on those? Should I bring them with me, if I do transfer, or do I leave them at my brothers?

Does anyone have any experience with the Montrose/grand junction area? From my research it is a nice place to live with a few options to shoot and lots of hunting.

I really want to get out of the desert and the city, I want to get back to my roots of the outdoors and mountains that I grew up with. I also have family in Denver and family In Heber city Utah so it seems like a good place smack in middle to stay a while.

Thanks for any input or opinions.

I always liked Montrose, though I haven't been there in years, can't say if or how it has changed.

The San Juan mountains are spectacular.

I'm out in Fruita, just a tad west of Grand Junction.  

My $.02...

The grand valley is a great "hub" if you enjoy the outdoors.  It's big enough to have all the crap you are likely to need, but small enough that traffic is relatively non-existent.  There is great access to outdoor activities within 1/2 hour to 2 hours drive.  Bookcliffs, Moab,  Grand Mesa, San Juans, Flattops, Uncompaghre Plateau, etc.

Grand Junction is still desert though.  You're not in the mountains here.

I don't think Montrose is quite as desert-ish as Grand Junction.  A little higher in elevation, and much closer to the San Juans.  Maybe some Montrose folk will chime in, there's a few on the board.

I wouldn't bring in any magazines with mold marks or date stamps post June 2013 and I wouldn't bring in any magazines with defaced date stamps or codes.

Montrose is great. Our Sheriff has said he won't enforce anything. I know plenty of people with post dated mags, but if you aren't comfortable, only use pre-dated mags...

ETA: You can do ANY activity within an hour and a half of town. Boating, skiing, biking, off-roading, hunting, fishing, climbing, etc. I love it here and hope I never have to leave. Just don't let them offer a lower wage claiming lower cost of living. Kind of the only downside here. Wages kind of suck, but it cost just as much to live here.

Do you own a Dremel or soldering iron?

All good info, I really appreciate the input.

My wage stays the same no matter what base I transfer too so I guess I will put in the transfer and see what happens. It sounds like just the place I am looking for.

You all have been a great help

OP, Montrose is a great area and very very conservative. Mag laws aren't being enforced and our sheriff is actively fighting the state in court because of the new laws. If you come into town, let us know and maybe we can show you around

Medical but not medic... I'm a ems pilot, I work out of Yuma Arizona and live in Vegas right now but looking to change both those.

Do you already work for Life CareFlight? I used to work out with a couple of people that were medics/nurses (?) on the helicopter here. Saw they lost a crew last week. Seems like a small community. Good Luck and hope it works out for you!

Yeah I work for Careflight down in the Yuma base right now. Yeah we lost one of our fixed wing pilots up there. Unfortunately we lost a whole crew from Santa Fe a few days ago too. Its been a bad month but its the nature of the beast I suppose.

Your office would be just South of the hospital, across the street.   Met a few of the people when I did my EMT training, years ago.    If everybody around town gets together, we could meet at Horsefly (local brewpub).   Buy you a beer
