So, I am moving to start as a student at the Anschutz medical campus in Aurora, CO. A few gun related questions -
1. What is the deal with >15rd capacity mags, exactly? Am I in the clear to bring my 17rd Glock mags into the state? The law seems to suggest there is no problem bringing them in temporarily for a match/competition, and it is clearly against the new law to buy or sell them IN the state, but there doesn't seem to be much for or against the importation of personally owned >15rd capacity magazines. Safe to do so? Thoughts/opinions?
2. I will be living with 2 other current students (south of Colfax in Aurora) for the time being. any advice on securing my firearms ? I haven't had a roommate in quite some time, but I'm pretty strapped for cash and the real estate market in Denver is absolutely ridiculous. Additionally, while Aurora isn't necessarily the worst neighborhood I've seen in my life, it also isn't the best.... I've always had some sort of SentrySafe-style metal gun cabinet but I am open to alternatives. Unlike before, I am basically guaranteed to be in Denver for the next 8+ years, so I am willing to sink money into a good safe. Trouble is that I really only own pistols (~7 of them) and then 1 longarm (12ga 870). Not sure I need a $1k Liberty safe or anything - looking for something in between - especially something well suited for pistols.
3. Is anyone here from the area and has suggestions for gun clubs/gun shops/etc? I've heard the Colorado Rifle club in Byers is a good facility and their website seems to suggest this is the case. I'm planning on mailing in my application soon but am open to alternatives if anyone knows of any.
Thanks all!
