This would have wreaked havoc on my college years.

And that works how?


Most of the beer ive seen minors drink is of the bottle/can variety, its very rare to see a bunch of kids with a keg.

First registration then they're coming for your kegs.  Like the old cliche says, when beer kegs are outlawed only outlaws will have beer kegs.

They better not come after my kegs, if they know whats good for them [}:D]

They already have that in the Peoples Republic of Boulder. If it saves just one life it is worth any amount of hassle! Boulder is also now a bird sanctuary, if you kill a sparrow you go to jail! Yeah! God I can not wait to get the hell out of here.

Several states already have laws requiring registration of beer kegs to try to keep them away from minors. From what I hear they laughable.

All you'd have to do is scrape the numbers off of the keg after you bought it.

I work for the local government in a two-college town. They regulated kegs like this law did several years ago.

All kegs sold in the town MUST have the label and who bought it. What do the kids do? Go 4 miles outside of town limits and buy it!

Beer Laws are like gun laws....

Remember if all kegs are outlawed,
only outlaws will have kegs.

Hmmmmm, imagine that baby filled with Tannerite!
[}:D]

Dude, I want to party with you.

Register kegs? That's is fucking stupid.

Partys rarely use kegs.  Us younguns usually get a bunch of 30 packs and a few handles of the hard stuff.  We don't need no stinkin kegs.

I haven't pursued this story beyond what was written in the copied article, but this is just a suggestion, right?  One man's bill introduction?  Hasn't happened yet, has it?



"Sleighbells ring. . . are ya listenin'. . ."

Yes, the kegs have an ID on the side of the barrel, and the buyer person can be prosecuted for liquor infractions, but what's the big deal?  As far as I'm concerned, it just makes sure that the purchaser gets the deposit back after the party's over.  

Upset that you can't trash The Hill after the Nebraska game and could get in trouble if you set fire to your furniture in the street?  Gimme a break.  Lots of petty complaints.  Boulder is consistently rated among the best, if not the best, place in the US to live, to raise a family, to be an athlete, to start a business, to retire.  How many museums?  How many drama and music and dance festivals?  How many hundreds of miles hiking and biking trails?  How many tens of thousands of Open Space acres?  How much sun?  Bolder Boulder?  How hard to get a CCW permit?  How far to Lefthand Canyon where you can blast away with your Class III weapons all day long?  Look, even the Buffs are undefeated in conference games despite their rough off-field behavior.

Get out of the seedy Pub on Pearl basement, RickyJ, take a look at the Flatirons, see how magnificent this place is, realize how lucky you are to live in this world-class small town, and stop moaning about keg beer and killing songbirds.

Dude, you are not alone!

Other states with keg registration law: California, Connecticut, Washington DC,
   Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North Dakota, Washington State,
   Oregon, Utah, Missouri, Vermont, Virginia, and New Mexico.


I vaguely remember when this happened in CA about 6-7 years ago.  Lots of places stopped selling them which was the intention of the law just like AW's.

Now that I see that MADD is involved the, reasoning behind this is that MADD is an origination bent on prohibition.Originally
they were on a mission to punish drunk
drivers,not any more.

Man, thats just fuckin' gay.[rolleyes]

-T.

Yeah, you sound like a typical boulderite, "what's the big deal?" Who cares about a little bit of government intrusion. The only people who don't like big government are criminals. [whacko]


ummm.... okay. I have never been in a Hill riot, and I don't think that registering kegs is going to stop those who do. Does it? Or have there been riots since kegs were registered?



I honestly have not looked into it. How hard is it? Easier than Colorado Springs? Please give me more information, if it is reasonably easy I would love get a CCW permit.



I don't know what the personal attack is about but I do not go to seedy pubs. This town is beautiful in many ways, I love the Flatirons, it is a beautiful city. The bike trails are great, the air is clean. I did not say that any of these were not true. What I dislike is the political climate. Boulder is filled with a bunch of rich kid wannabe hippies who drive around in their SUVs and cry "save the rainforest". They complain about being "persecuted" for smoking pot while they hold a smokeout in Farrand field on 4-20 without any police action. Allard protesters are arrested before Strickland rallies start. I am tired of the whiners and the pseudo hippies. I love the physical area but even Nazi Germany had some physically beautiful places to live, or was Bavaria transformed into some surface hell while Hitler was in power?

Oh yeah, going to jail for six (yes 6) months for killing one (yes 1) sparrow is not "petty".

Well if they have to be empty before they stamp them,Id be glad to come out and help.[:D]

Better buy em up guys... Someday those preban kegs will be worth a lot. [rolleyes]

Dude Move south... South of Monument Hill (the Douglas/El Paso County line) things get much better. We have CCW, and they sign for the NFA toys.

As for the NY Keg registration system - I think the BATF should form a full oversite taskforce there. They need to document the feasibility of "Tap fingerprinting" to be able to identify which partys have tapped that keg.

ProfGAB101, Colorado Springs is where I was born and raised I just live up here cause thats where the schoolin' is. And yes it is a hell of a lot better down there. Hell I had more than 5 places I could buy a gun down there within a three mile radius of my house. And [red]never[/red] had to fill out a government form to buy a keg.

Been doing it in Wa for years.  Funny since highschool haven't bought too many kegs.

I’m afraid that I’m not clever enough to post this with the quotes intact, but do want to reply this early morning.  Your posts will be bold:


[b]R”ummm.... okay. I have never been in a Hill riot, and I don't think that registering kegs is going to stop those who do. Does it? Or have there been riots since kegs were registered?[/b]

I’m sorry, truly, for my prejudice.  Was inappropriate.  Was a cheap shot.  Something about the timbre of your post was reminiscent of a whiny adolescent.  Was a low blow.  

[b]I honestly have not looked into it. How hard is it? Easier than Colorado Springs? Please give me more information, if it is reasonably easy I would love get a CCW permit.[/b]

My experience leads me to tell ya that one ought not waste their time in even a phone call to the Boulder Police Department.  Go directly to the Sheriff.  I know of no one who has been turned down, but, granted, this has been an exceptional group.  A quick Internet search will lead you to a .pdf applicaton.  May or may not, depending of course on the background check, take the full time.  ( I can’t recall how many weeks they say, but do the search for “Boulder CO Sheriff”.  The CCW application link is on the home page.

Again, I apologize for attacking you.  I tend to defend my home territory as quickly as I do my country, and when you alluded to the negatives, I jumped in.  I don’t tend to find those described by you to be as offensive as you find them to be.  They’re just having fun, exercising their “away from home” freedoms for the first time, I think.  Hey, it’s not a Boulder issue to have an outspoken, sometimes extreme, student body.  Yes, the “wannabe hippies,” the “pseudo hippies” are a parody of themselves, but, hey, they’re not an influence to anyone, they are making no difference politically, they are changing no opinions.  Why not focus on fake blondes?  If you consider our town to be only CU, then you’re neglecting  75% of our residents.  Do you think that these poverty-stricken college students (yes, even those who have parents that give them $3000/mo + rent +Range Rover) support our restaurants?  Our boutiques?  The Arts?  Who pays the (non-sales) taxes?  Who represents us on Wednesday nights? (And why care if their parents want to maintain a lifestyle?  Let people spend their money and time as they wish, I think.)  

Wasn’t aware of the maximum penalty for being found guilty for killing a sparrow in Boulder.  Also, not aware of the maximum penalty for many actions that I would never consider.

Your concept of Boulder as Liberal places it at the extreme opposite of Nazi Germany, doesn’t it?  Make a consistent argument.  Why such a focus of socially, as opposed to fiscally, liberal?  Do you think that the people are really fiscally liberal, or do you spend to much time gritting your teeth each time you see a woman with dreadlocks?  (Is that how the hair style is spelled?)  It is for this reason, maybe, that I profiled you as I did.  Aside from the little group in front of the Courthouse on Pearl, I have little exposure to this demographic.

As you can see, I’ll defend my turf, and I consider you to be another townsperson.  I guess that I’ve passed you on the street already (and I can assure you that I haven’t got a bumper sticker that speaks for me), and I hate to see people who live in the midst of such bounty complain.  Think of where some Americans live, and be grateful.  Otherwise, sounds like you are a potential AZ or VT resident?  

Let’s be friends.
Sorry for jumping on you, but I’ll defend this place everyday,
IMHO
 

If this goes through and kegs are registered, are they going to put a provision in the law for concealed carry?

Maybe Bianchi gunleather will make up an 'in the pants'rig or a shoulder holster to carry a keg concealed.

Or perhaps they won't because it could easily be abused.

Is there going to be a police exemption for concealed carry?

What would the penalty for carrying a concealed keg without a permit be, anyway?

Lotta f452ing mysteries around here.....

IMHO, it is true that Boulder contains much more than CU and sometimes I forget that. The vast majority of my time is spent in classes and on campus so really it is the main impression of Boulder I have. But I still think registering kegs is a dumb idea that won't accomplish anything. [:D]

Just the pre-ban ones, without the permanantly attached registration tag.  I've got a few of these laying around.  Hopefully we will be able to grandfather them in and not be subject to confiscation.[:)]
