County doesn't matter in regards to NFA, local Sheriffs have no say after 41F took affect.

Are ARs still banned in Denver County due to local ordnance laws or was that ruled unconstitutional?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes. Start filing your form4's and form 1's I do recommend forming an NFA trust even with the new rules.Second the trust. I have to set up a trust for all my future NFA toys AND pay $200 (again) to have the suppressor I just received transferred to the trust. At least I'll be able to shoot it while I wait this time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Technically they have a weird assault rifle ban in Denver county, but its completely ignored and not enforced - even the gun shows and gun shops in Denver CO sell regular AR's. Also, no sane person lives in Denver CO, they live in the burbs. My company's office is located in Lakewood and I have been looking at Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl, Morrison, and Golden. If you guys know of any gems or additional areas to look at/avoid thanks in advance for the help and input. |

I'm in a similar boat, relocating for work to Denver (Aurora). I know I'm a littttle late in moving, but looking forward to nature!
Hate to hijack the thread, but can anyone recommend a.) whether or not to rent longer or buy asap? I'd really prefer to buy from the get go and not blow money on rent as I'd like to be in CO long term and b.) best neighborhood where I can find a home with my limited budget (~$300k) that's still within a reasonable driving distance to Aurora for work? Don't need to worry about kiddos right now so school system isn't a major concern. Prefer newer and larger over some of the more rundown and outdated stuff I've seen for sale. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've been a Colorado resident for the last month. Here's my advice as someone who's priced out of buying what we want in the area we want until the market dips. If you rent make sure 100% that the lease calls out marijuana as verboten AND that it's enforced. I live in Lakewood and everyone smokes weed here... The lease says no marijuana but it isn't enforced. Welcome to Colorado I guess. We chose Lakewood for its proximity to Federal Center, but next year we'll be living in west Littleton.

But welcome to Denver, whose entire contribution to the culinary world has been to Burrito All The Things.) But that chart is a little suspect: How does Wyoming rank so low?

Freedom in the 50 States Thankfully the upstate county I lived in when I got my CCW was and still is shall issue, other counties in NY will make you perform all kinds of gymnastics to get one. The plus side to live in the shittiest state in the union is that no matter where you go it has a high probability of being an improvement. |

@seph have you had a chance to actually get out to Denver and check it out? My wife and I have been to the area several times preparing for a move and one of the biggest things for us was how quickly the neighborhoods change. Not necessarily for the worse but if you have a specific type of living arrangement in mind a block or two could change the feel significantly. We will be moving to the area as in the next couple of months, really depends on when I can find a job.
