I can see not wanting to move to FL, but I can't see staying in Kolorado much longer.  Good luck with that, brother.

I should be gone already.

A local ordinance can't contravene a state statue. That's a completely different legal concept then making a law that is stricter than the state level version.

That’s great and all but what people living in those places? I can assure you this won’t just be a Denver/Boulder problem.  The bigger issue is their tactic of just chip chip chipping away of peoples God given rights. Their tactic is incrementalism and they just happen to experts at it

They won’t stop with just this. They’ll never stop.

This law eliminated state preemption on all firearms laws?  I haven't read the law and based on the title of this thread I thought it was for CCW.  Makes sense that they repealed state preemption for everything.  That's worse than I thought.

Well, I'm living in an area that attracts a lot of those fruits and nuts due to lower cost.  They aspire to be the next Boulder so our town council and mayor pretty much walk lock step with Boulder instead of Greeley/Weld.  Hell, there was somebody on nextdoor complaining about a Cesna doing touch and goes at the airport......that has been there for the better part of 45 years while their home has been there maybe 4.  Between the citiots and the lefties there was a questions on our town survey asking about safe spaces and whether we wanted to join Boulder.  Wasn't anything like that when I moved here just a few years ago but they started developing every available square inch of land for new homes and apartments.

I'm not a lawyer or a legislator, so I don't know.  But why can't a local jurisdiction pass a law that negates peaceable journey?

Peaceable journey allows travelers who are passing through a local jurisdiction to have a state-legal gun or magazine in their car even if the local jurisdiction has a ban on that gun or magazine.  

So what's to stop the local jurisdiction from passing a law that says, "You can't have a banned gun or mag in your car even if you're just passing through."?  That's a local law that's stricter than state law, which is exactly what local jurisdictions are now allowed to do.

Why do you think the whackjobs in towns and cities in CO wouldn't pass a city law that says "No Reciprocity?"  Why do you think they wouldn't pass a law that bans having a semiauto or a standard capacity magazine in your vehicle?  Do you think the cops in those cities wouldn't enforce laws like that?  Do you think the courts will overturn those new local laws when they pass?

I'm pretty sure I will be fine driving through NE and KS to go around CO.  I will probably be fine driving down 385 because that if far from the front range and almost like being in  different country.

Fort Collins, Longmont, and the suburbs closer to Denver?  Not so sure about them.  The mayor in FTC doesn't seem like someone who would oppose any restriction on firearms.

The whole point of repealing state preemption is to create such a mess with different laws in every town that nobody will be willing to risk running afoul of some new law and ending up with their stuff confiscated and possibly end up in jail.

You've hit the nail on the head.  This law has nothing to do with crime control, it's all about harassing gun owners and making gun ownership as inconvenient as possible.

By allowing local communities to set their own laws, the state will become a convoluted hodgepodge of jurisdictions with differing gun laws.  Gun owners, concealed carriers in particular, who plan to travel within the state will have a hard time keeping track of all those laws.  This convoluted mess will discourage people from carrying - which is the real point of this law.

I25 from FTC south to Denver is one big metro area.  Fortunately, there are alternatives to the east.  And I agree, when you get away from the cities CO and most other states are more conservative.

That's the point.  

That is also why I'm worried about traveling through, let alone stopping for gas.  Ok for now, but give it a year or two and nobody will be able to keep track of what is illegal in every town and city.  One town will ban concealed carry, the next will ban standard capacity mags, the next will ban "assault weapons" by whatever definition they can make up.  Maybe the next town bans open carry on even number days and concealed carry on odd number days - I wouldn't put anything past the leftists.

Another thing to consider with this law... How long until online retailers stop shipping guns, ammo, magazines, etc. to CO because it's simply not practical for them to research and keep track of the local laws in every county, city, and town in the state?

That is another "benefit" of this nonsense as far as leftists are concerned.

Most of online stores won't ship mags to individuals to CO now because of the law.  You can still buy mags locally in most places but stores that ship usually list CO among the usual suspects where they won't ship mags.

Now, when cities start banning "assault weapons" and every city has a different definition then things will get interesting for FFLs.  You are probably right that companies will just refuse to ship anything that might be banned somewhere in CO.

That’s not a stricter law, it’s a law that contravenes state law. There’s a difference. You’re conflating legal concepts with colloquial usage.

State law makes it a crime to murder someone. Do you think a town could make a law that says it’s not a crime to murder someone?

It’s the way our legislative system is designed. Local municipalities only have the legislative power granted to them by the state, thus they can’t create laws that contradict the body that gave them that power.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be concerned about this law or that it doesn’t suck to live in a liberal part of the state but the only way to combat it is with facts. Going around telling people they’re going to be arrested if they stop to get gas in Boulder simply isn’t the reality and it only makes us look like uninformed nuts.

Trust me, I understand the giant pain in the ass it is to have to navigate gun laws in multiple jurisdictions. I grew up in RI where the quickest way to get somewhere was usually to go through MA. Neither of those states are particularly gun friendly so I made sure I knew the respective versions of peaceable journey each had inside and out. The fact is, even extremely anti-gun states like CA, NY, NJ and CT have some form of peaceable journey either enshrined in the state constitution or on the books in the form of statute of case law. Are some more restrictive than others? Sure but if a place like CA or NY recognizes how unpopular getting rid of it would be than CO isn’t going to take the lead on it. The state is still purple and elections are decided by 3-5% of the population. Polis would find out how red some of those rural democrats can be real quick if he starts telling them they’re going to be arrested for coming to the big city and forgetting to take their ranch gun out of the pickup.

First of all, your example about a town legalizing murder is an example of something that's less strict than state law.  We're talking about towns making laws that are more strict than state law.  

Secondly, someone getting arrested at a gas station in Boulder (or in some other liberal jurisdiction with stricter gun laws) is not out of the question.  

Peaceable journey allows out of town travelers to have a state legal gun or magazine in their car as they travel through a jurisdiction with stricter gun laws.  But, people with carry permits tend to carry on their person - that's the point of having a permit.  So it is entirely possible a traveler with a carry permit might exit his car while carrying at a gas station, or repair shop, or restaurant, or souvenir shop, or whatever and unknowingly run afoul of a local gun law in a stricter jurisdiction.

Wow, this saddens me. A big reason why I got my CCW was because I have a daughter (now 3) who I would like to protect. I feel like I can't even go to King Soopers without worrying what could happen to her. I don't want to take anyone else's life, but I don't belive in disregard for my family's life.

I sent an email. I usually don't like getting involved in stuff like this, but this is too much. A big reason why I got my CCW was because I have a daughter (now 3) who I would like to protect.

I'm fine with doing background checks until they are through, I don't want firearms in the wrong hands. But I want to be able to protect my daughter.

I posted a question to one of the candidates running for sheriff of Jefferson county as how she would handle the parks ban.

Here is how she replied. From Regina Marinelli

Russ, thank you for your question.  You asked about my thoughts reference this article.   I will give you my thoughts after having read the Act signed on June 19th, by Governor Polis.  In 18-12-214(1)(c), it clearly states that if Foothills Parks and Recreation District were to ban concealed firearms from their properties, they may "only impose a civil penalty for a violation and require the person to leave the premises".   With this stated in the law, it would be a civil situation, thus action would have to be taken through the courts, not through law enforcement.   Technically, a person caught carrying a concealed weapon upon their premises would still, by statute, be acting in a legal manner; therefore, this would not be a criminal situation by the Act that was signed.  Unfortunately, I think this new addition will be very confusing to the citizens trying to obey the laws and protect themselves.
